  • Summary:
  • Description: Stradiotti puts on his chef's outfit, and is seen checking rations. He opens a tin of evaporated milk with a meat-cleaver; makes pastry and throws it about, man takes it to the oven; airmen help themselves, at a table piled with food (pastries, pies, jam tarts, salad etc); Stradiotti packs his hat and white coat in a kit-bag and puts on a tin hat - as a road convoy leaves, he gives the 'thumbs up' sign. (According to 'Progress Report' story, Stradiotti is an ex-all-in wrestler...)
