I too have flown Hercules Airways courtesy of her majesty's fly boys - only Lyneham to Gutersloh. Toilets were indeed "basic"

Boxed meals!Meldrew wrote: every boxed meal we were given
Our aircrew meals in the Navy were called bag meals - curled up sarnie, dead apple, crushed crisps. The bag tasted better than the crap the cooks packed in 'em! Even the seagulls turned their beak up at 'em.
That's probably why there was never any chefs names on the list for 'jolly' flights!!
As I grow older, my mind doesn't just wander......sometimes it buggers off completely!!

There are 3 of us now in the same area (within about 3 miles of each other) why not have a mini MM ride out?
