After nine months in the sand and wind of Libya the time came for the RAF to fly us home,alas they could not get that right.we were moved out of our accommodation the night before the flight into Malcolm Block only to be told that it would be delayed 24hours,the RAF had 86 Pissed Off Carb's on their hand's.What to do with 86 Pissed Off Carb's.The SSM had the right idea,be back by midnight tommrow,no where to go other than the gibbely club off we went 3 days later the RAF flew us out.The best piss upever seen,72 hours on the Lash .All Ranks we carried onto the Plain,the RAF were very happy to see the back us.Happy Day'sCarabiniers, SUMMER CAMP in 1949
