I was Orderly Sergeant when an RAF Police Corporal brought in a drunken officer who he had discovered lying face down on the grass outside the WRAF block. Technically the said Flight Lieutenant was under arrest, though he was not inclined to challenge the Corporal's or my own authority to detain him. As per SOP for drunks, we installed him safely in a cell, minus belt, shoelaces etc. and informed the Orderly Officer, who then informed the Station Commander. As instructed by the CO, we kept the said drunken officer overnight in the guardroom and released him to the CO on his way in the following morning. I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall of the CO's office during the subsequent "interview" but we never heard any more about it. 'High Spirits' one supposes, but I don't think it did anything to advance his career...
