Same thing DinG, invariably had a singly or two for Christmas dinner. The one in Borneo was a bit different - Christmas Lunch served by the officers and SNCOs (not enough officers and we were still operational), bombed by thousands of toilet rolls by the Beverleys aircrews and then seriously bombed by the Tiger beer, Bacardi and anything else that was alcoholic - didn't have a Boxing Day that year. Flew to Singapore on 27th in an Argosy which was agony. But all go into the mystique of Christmas and the many happy memories.
