I ran the Transit Lounge Bar on Gan and that night I was also in the cinema when the call out came, we were all told to report to our workplace "in case". I remember the C.O. came into the bar and asked what I was doing?? I said " giving everyone a drink,sir" and he said good I will pay. I then told him The Corporals Club was already doing that, good show he said and left.
I do remember that no one had any of their kit as it had been lost with the aircraft so we had to get all the usual kit for washing and drying.
In all it was a bit of a hectic night and good to find others remember it better than I do.
It is a nice read thank you, Len McNab
