Now there's ingenuity for you ! We had to steal coal from the dump -
but you mean to tell me that the RAF was still using Nissen huts and
coal stoves in the 1960's ?
As for using aircraft fuel - we couldn't get anything except what was
used to run the trolley-acs. and even that was colour coded so that it
could be detected if used in a car [or my 350cc Calthorpe - nostalgia,
nostalgia ...........]
