07/14/2021 This show started at a snails pace, but once it got it rolling it was captivating. See more 05/03/2020 I liked this a lot. I found it quite gripping. The officers and their wives all had distinct characters and issues. It resonated with me because my father was in the RAAF and was posted to the UK in the 1950s. As a young child I lived on a RAF base, and saw the "married quarters" and the military hierarchy from a child's point of view. In travelling to and from Australia our ship went through the Suez Canal. We stopped at Aden. I believe our ship was the first to go through the canal after it opened (having been closed by Nasser during the Suez crisis). The Arabs lined the shore and lifted their kaftans as the ship went through. The British and Australians had no idea how the locals felt, or even that they had a right to feel hostile. You can see this in The Last Post. Decolonisation was a bloody and drawn out process. These officers were caught up in the contradiction.
