Thanks to Griff who has submitted this post about catering in the army now and the Royal Logistics Corps.
Hi, Thought you might like some new pictures. Not exactly from the
ACC, but your child the RLC. The group picture of the Catering
Department of 12 Logistic Support Regiment, The Royal Logistic Corps. The newest regiment in the British Army. The pic was taken in Poland in November 2006, after a two month long testing exercise. It was the first time the department came together since the unit’s formation on July 4th.
Catering in the army now
The other two pictures are of the new OFCS kit, that has now replaced the No4 and No5 cooksets. They are kerosene fuelled, with the help ofa very noisy generator. The sets depicted belongs to a 40-man set. As you can see the kit is very, very shiny and new, shame it does not look like that after a few days on exercise. If your site visitors
would like any more information on the new cooksets please just ask.
The chefs have nick named the set ‘The Alphabet Cookset’ due to its
rather elongated name. The operational Field Catering System (OFCS)
It’s always good to keep our predecessors up to date with matters
within the trade.
