Well ,Jim ,another dandy video. Nice to see the Ledra so well maitanied and the raesonable comforts of home there for the guys. Of course we are not there now, but this shows a woldly improved facility from 74-75, which Dab would remember the state it was in then.Its a beautiful Hotel, and had a state of the art kitchen, that was pretty filthy back in 74-75...until we closed it and crews used power grinders to remove caked on grease etc, often 4" thick ,and a real haven for all kinds od pests and disease producing, ahh shall we say , "bad stuff", anyone there back tehn knew of the cockroaches, and this bldg had two types, the common German cockraoch ,and the giant Oriental cockroah which attempted to carry off the contents of the WO & Sgts Mess. RCR did a mountain of work here after duty to make things better tour after tour. Thanks for the memories Jim, ranrad

Thanks for the video. Place certainly changed since 74 - 75 but I still recognized the majority. The wife says we were hard done by having a pool, video games, air conditioning, whiskey sours etc. She says she now knows why I always want to go back. The reason I answering this late is I just joined the crew.
