S.W.O. at Leuchars had a corporal puppy name of Henry I think.
892 Sqdn. Royal Navy were also based at Leuchars.
Come embarkation time to the Ark, some wag puts a notice in the corporals club to the effect that anybody who wishes to visit the Ark put there name below and they will get put on the next chopper out.
Only 1 name goes on list ....... Henry!!!
This is too much for the matelots to stand so they stick him on the next one out.
Then comes a small problem.
Choppers only take people out to the Ark, they do not bring them back !!
One big problem suddenly blows up.
S.W.O. wants to know where his puppy is, meanwhile 892 are desperately trying to 1. Hide Henry from the Old Man and 2. get him back to Leuchars.
I believe they somehow managed to get him back and the story was quietly put to bed
Some of us "crabs" know what happened though .
