Dunovrin',
I remeber the fake burner at Cranditz, but I also remeber the bill for the carpet as well! As it was being pushed across the mess foyer to the car park, one of the wheels came off and the corner of the piano gouged a huge furrow in the carpet.
I also remeber that when the fire brigade came to put out the fake car burner, one of us (name withheld to protect the innocent) got into a punch up with a fireman who wanted to put it out but couldn't due to the number of pilots standing on his hose!
Aaah, happy days. But wasn't THOM a cr@p Officer's Mess. Bluntie baiting was the only real amusement.
