I was a Pilot Officer at Buchan in 82 when during a very boozy night in the Mess, the sirens go off hailing the start of our Pt 1.
The staish, a certain Gp Capt Bunny St A***** comes over to me, hands me the key to his car and tells me I am driving him and the Execs to the Ops Site.
'I have been drinking Sir' was my reply.
'Yep, and noone cares if a Plt Off goes to prison' was his.
Not Taceval, but, during a visit to a German Armoured AD Sqn in 87 we are sat having coffee and stickies with the German boss and his execs. Our Boss, an F4 Nav (Ned K****) asks two questions to keep the conversation going:
1. 'Do you fuel up in the field using Jerry Cans'
'No, we use Tommy Cans'.
2. 'Do you deploy regularly overseas'?
'Not since 1939'.
We all looked embarassed and the Germans were wetting themselves laughing.
