| ChrisP reminded me of one occasion in Duisburg. I had joined the RCT TA after leaving regular service and the advance party had travelled from Rotterdam to Duisburg under the command of one of our Regular PSI's, an SSM who boasted he could find any RCT barracks in BAOR. We were swanning around Duisburg for about 30 mins before we found the barracks and as my vehicle entered the camp area the SSM was seen paying off a civvy taxi-driver!!
Cost him a few beers in the Mess that night I can tell you.
Noch ein bier,
Norman. | |

| Top stuff I still have mine from 1989 showing the DDR border, on my office wall as a constant reminder of the "good ole" days. Visitors are always fascinated by how it looked back then compared to now. I did have a post border BFG road map but donated it to an exhibition of British in Germany Anyhoo for those who are interested and want to reminice here is a pic below :-)  | |
