Yes, Camp coffee was widespread at the time the books were being written.
It was advertised on almost every railway station - "Camp coffee is the
best" - on the vertical face below each platform (alongside the Virol
advertisements, for those of you with long memories) so that you could
read it while waiting for the train on the opposite platform.
And yes, the drink is horrible. But I can confirm it makes delicious
coffee cake, especially the icing. You will still find it in English
supermarkets, but it isn't in "Tea and Coffee" - it's in "Home Baking".
Nescafe existed in England in those days too, but I think it was rather
upmarket.
