Also i personally came through a base in an OOA loacation on the way to an a/c recovery and got sent on straight away...on our return about 3 days later we had to go through "normal" customs...did you pack your bag.,..yes about 3 days ago not had chance to open it !! Then we had to put our weapons through the scanner...they never asked if they were lethal plus i do not think they realised we all (there were 8 of us) had 2 full mags each on us when we boarded....it only takes 1 to looney and these days it happens all the time.
The armed force of the UK is limited and will soon be know as USRAF....pay me when it's true :-)
