Perth Digger Posted 26 October , 2013 Share Posted 26 October , 2013 If two or three squadrons shared an airfield, would they mess together or separately? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centurion Posted 26 October , 2013 Share Posted 26 October , 2013 I suspect that for the officers it would depend on what they wanted to do - an officers mess is technically a free association. Logically it would make sense but it would depend probably on the culture and make up of each squadron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Austin Posted 26 October , 2013 Share Posted 26 October , 2013 As far as I know, all squadrons were self-contained and, in the case of 54 Squadron, they never seem to have shared facilities with other squadrons operating from the same aerodrome. From time to time, they did visit other messes for festive events and they invited others to theirs. Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissparrow Posted 26 October , 2013 Share Posted 26 October , 2013 From all my knowledge of all forces each unit would have its own mess. I can't quote messing together, but I can give examples of messing apart! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
