But then you get somewhere like, Kosovo,
where even before you can set up,
a tented accommodation, as we had
if you're first in or in for a short
It's, it's not even bare base
So we lived on the aircraft for some time.
again, this place, this affection piece,
Not only has it been where you have flown
it's also been your hotel, nicknamed
and when we were first in Kosovo,
we stayed on the aircraft for
maybe the first week or two while
inch by three inch mirror on the ramp
the meals together, I remember
Maybe it was a forward operating base,
Kosovan farmer's field somewhere
This is a good tactical position.
We'll, we'll we'll make a, we'll hunker
and so we went in there.
It was, it was on the aircraft and living
as I said that daily routine
is what you make or it, it’s like camping without a tent,
but with a sort of 60ft
And that. That's fun.
I was very young on the force
I had only been obviously
but you very quickly
what the tricks are,
her, great aircraft, but a bit leaky,
not designed for people to sleep in it
so where the transmissions are and where,
they actually have the right to sit
if you like, where the engines going, you
So if you happen to,
for example,
then you wake up with a wet sleeping bag
And the old and bold say ah, told you
So my, my place tended to be sort of, up
not so near that the rain could blow in it
not so bad that you get leaked on by
And you just had to work out and say
You just worked out
I slept far better on the aircraft
or the the barracks that we eventually
far better on the aircraft.
This is really comfy.
but yeah, I wouldn't want to do it
Probably got a bad back now as a result.
