I remember my then g/f had an uncontrolled fit of the giggles when I removed my trousers to reveal said garment. Certainly put my planned night of passion on hold.

Pretty sure I never wore them again

Back to the thread - what were your favourite messes? I could nominate South Cerney, Gutersloh ( a pre war Luftwaffe mess, complete with Goering's Room up under the roof) and Medmenham which was a late Victorian pile lived in by various wealthy industrialists until requisitioned during WW2. It had a spectacular dining room with a minstrel's gallery. Also I have to mention Catterick for sentimental reasons as it was my first mess ( see above) , now occupied by pongoes!
