Sorry for the slight off-topic

When i was on my UK working tour few years ago, our company (MRO) offers night shelter for vintage warbirds like P51, YAK-3 etc etc during local airshow. Red Arrows were on site too, but they stayed on apron. Ok, we were pushing P51 into hangar and couple of fine young RA pilots joined to help. My older colleague, fine gentleman, stops those pilots after pushing job was done... told them " i have never saw you guys do anything else than enjoying yourselfs".
How embrassing moment, but my colleague put his old and wise words in correct way with correct tone and nobody get hurt.
