Remembered Today:

Messing arrangements

If two or three squadrons shared an airfield, would they mess together or separately?

Thanks

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.

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.

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!
