"On one occasion for reasons that perhaps nowadays it doesn't matter I suppose but there were Australian people in other places in the Far East, and they were Air Force people, okay I went to visit them. It doesn't matter where they were but I wanted to see that they had plenty of Australian beer, that they had Simpson's meat pies and things like that. So it gave me an opportunity to go to two or three other places in times when things were quiet. Maybe it sounds to you as though the activity was so restricted that it wasn't time consuming but it was."
