First class travel and the luxury of a Sun Roof

Hi Guys,

Reference the captioned photograph. I think that I was the one who is standing up naked. Always been a bit of an exhibitionist, but girls, you should have seen me in my prime.

Aye - Andy.

And there was me thinking O'Pray's at play under his towel again!

I remember being at the Royal Tournament too, we used to shower on the roof for some reason. Some of the antics we saw in adjacent windows were - lets just say interesting!! Not that we went on the roof to perv or anything, though we did take our flasks, binos and pussers mac.............

I was 'selected' for two Royal Tournaments.
One of them was a cliff assault display with Maj Dickie Grant in charge. He could do seemingly endless press-ups on each of his fingers in turn!
The accommodation was above the arena, and as the surface dried out our beds and kit would be covered in a thick layer of brown dust. As I remember, the showers were way down in the basement, and we were allocated some female toilets. I never knew 'til then how interested girls are in the size of mens' tackle! The diagrams and comments were VERY professional.

What was the name of the bar at the end of the road in Earls Court where Royal could always have a beer or two bought him by the local bender brigade?

Sticky I think you're right, it was the Bromptons (or something very similar), are you sure it wasn't Royal you saw dressed in the leather clobber at these places! What a scream we used to have with all the shirt-lifters, they thought they were in heaven when Royal was in town. Don't think we bought a drink the whole time we were at Earls Court, a few of our guys were often met at the front gate of Earls Court by some brown hatter and "entertained" for the evening!!!!
