Spent 88/89 as base electrician cum ice excavator!! Spent 91 as BC on Halley V during the rebuild. If the wife would let me i'd go back..... Maybe.. [26 November 2002]
Dave Cruse:
The mid-winter streak was already an established tradition in our day. I don't know the origins but it was kept on other bases as well. There was a tale about some lads at Sanae getting frostbite because they went in the full monty i.e. without mucklucks. [20 April 2003]
