Holy thread resurrection Batman!
An ex brat Cpl was celebrating his selection as NCO pilot at Abingdon in the early ‘60’s, and arriving back at camp with his buddy, they decided that the decorators weren’t doing a very good job, and so proceeded to improve their efforts. The 252 was deemed so serious, it ended up before Staish, who decided to let them off with a fine as our hero was only going to be an NCO pilot, and he didn’t want to ruin his career. NCO pilot training finished as he commenced training, so he was commissioned, and then got into further trouble as an officer!
