Nobody tried that stunt again. I suspect they would have except for the consequences..........
Scout pilot took off from Middle Wallop and was hover taxying across the airfield when he noticed that the engineer who was doing a gearbox leak check had walked down the skids and was watching him with interest through the co-pilots window.

Lama pilot working in Scotland looked in the mirror and noticed one of the loaders hitching a ride on the 6 foot long "meat hook".
Took him over to the nearby pond and dipped him!!
