True.
The only 'incident' I remember was when a VR pilot with 6 AEF, not one of ours, taxied into a WLAC Cherokee taxiing on the civvy side of the airfield.
As AW pointed out in his inimitable style at briefing the next morning, it provided 'an unfortunate but nonetheless useful' illustration of why our QFIs emphasised the importance of weaving the nose.
It certainly did!
I wonder if the stude in the Cherokee ever flew again.
I used to fly a friend's civilianised Chippie some years later. It seemed odd at first not going through the pre-start cartridge procedure - and I rather missed the bang and that distinctive smell when it fired. The strangest feeling of all was sitting on a cushioned seat-box instead of a parachute.
