Is that one 'DAC' story each.....?
The Nimrod crew paxing back from Akrotiri by Herc became rather bemused when told at the RAF Plod security check that they were not allowed to carry their dinghy knives on the leg of their flying suits.... step forward one very large, very angry, very bearded Sqn Ldr Det Cdr for a short and rather one-sided interview with Chief Plod. We carried the knives.
...or the look of panic in the eyes of the same crew in April 1982 when, enroute to ASI, the very pretty Shiney 10 ALM was seen taking the pins out of the 4 x Sidewinders lashed to the rear cabin floor as they were labelled "Remove Before Flight" !
....Oops - that was two !
