At RAF Masirah in 1971 it was the plods that ran the blue movies.
While at Kai Tak in 68 I was invited by the station provost officer to an afternoon in some flat where a large group of civvie RHKP and RMP officers assembled to watch all the "blue movies" which had been confiscated recently. The chilled San Mig flowed freely and it soon became raucous. One remark that sticks in the mind is when a film showed a local lass "performing" with a large dog of a certain breed and one wag called out "So that's what the Boxer uprising was!"
As PPRuNe's resident medal pedant I have to object to the description of "decorated", when the chap appears to be wearing the usual selection of campaign and jubilee medals etc, but no decorations. But then it is a newspaper, what do I expect? I see The Times used the same description in its own report.
