Here is a great photo of crew, having a cuppa before heading off.

........ and while your at it, have another cuppa and look at this one.

Good one, Tom. His mate next to him ( reckon he's the pilot ) looks like he needs something a bit stronger!

John I am not in the least surprised at some of the grimmaces caused when they sipped a typical cuppa NAAFI tea, it was however usually nice & hot, can anybody confirm if tea was ever laced with bromide

Now that's what I call real driveway service .............. wonder if they topped up the tanks as well?

A another great photo.
John

If any member have photos of crews having a well earned cuppa, please do not hesitate to post them.
Cheers,
John

Is that chap footing the ladder?........ or has he another motive?

Tom

Thank you gents for the photos, the more the merrier.
Here is another. Upon seeing the nose art, I couldn't help thinking about their choice of tea

Wasting his time if she is wearing regulation knickers! Years ago when Max was a boy I remember one of WAAFs saying that the knickers were a devil to get off. The Officer present said rather dryly "That my dear is precisely the idea, now the Americans have joined us".
