I remember being put on "a fizzer" for some minor indiscretion in a case of mistaken identity with another airman. I knew I was innocent of the charge due to the fact that at the time of the incident I was flying a private aeroplane into Inverness Airport and had my personal flying logbook. the aeroplanes technical log and a copy of the arrivals log with the pilot's name (me) from Inverness Airport. I was still found guilty and fined a nominal sum. In the 1970s I think that the 'orficer didn't like the idea of mere Senior Aircraftmen flying around in private aeroplanes!
