EXERCISE “FLYING SPANNER” Contributed by: Leonard SYMONDS (54A) Work-up Exercise Exercise
‘Messpot’, another unit, another cast (LWB) Landrover but painted shocking
pink, was similarly placed although they were due off a week before us, so a
joint up country trip to Masirah was organised. Handy to have company if
things went wrong. In fact the trip was a great success notwithstanding the
intense effort we put into cross desert work to try and encourage the things
to fall off which might have a propensity for doing so. It was time to go
back to barracks and hand over our day jobs before setting off.
