JACKANORY TIME - More Fake News?
Back in the day, the worlds premier recce and oldest fixed wing Squadron were on exchange to a NATO base up Norf from their home base. There were Two hercs in support, No1 had the ground equipment and some groundcrew. No2 had the duty free and a few more groundcrew.
On arrival at the noggy field, the Hercs were unloaded into an empty hangar. The base commander came to the hangar to welcome the Squadron. The ground equipment was parked outside but the duty free....nearly a Hercules full... was stacked in the middle of the hangar.
The base commander addressed the troops troops and said:
"Tommorow morning at 10:30 the customs officials from Oslo will conduct a surprise inspection of this hangar looking for illegal imports of duty free alcohol and tobacco - I expect they will find only a single box of whiskey in the centre of the hangar and will not check any of the offices around the edge. The whiskey will be confiscated. Welcome to RNoAF Ry**e, gentlemen"
Of course, this is just a story......fake news, fake news.
