Thr RAF regiment are referred to as Rock Apes and at Odiham used to do site defence etc in the field, but during the rest of the time they would drive the aircraft refuellers, IIRC the longer static wicks that used to fail and nobody had problems with before this one, detached and hit him in the head, I seem to remember it penetrated his skull and he was flown to hospital ( by the aircraft he refuelled? )
