In my time (early 1970s) we certainly had "spend night in nurses' home". This particular D was very successfully CO by several gaps at the one down the road from RAF Newton whose name I can't now recall, something like Saxondale. We also had "independent falling-over check", "b*llocking from the Boss", "get thrown out of the Mess bar" and "bring six tarts to a party". The latter got us a Force Twelve b*llocking from the SDO at Wyton one summer camp when we collectively brought about 80 into the bar one evening . . .

The diced carrot and tomato tie remains a treasured possession. If I recall correctly, it entailed drinking a pint in each of the 11 pubs on the Mumbles, followed by the award of the Splash of Merit if you honked on the steps of the Conservative Club. I can vaguely remember the then admin officer (Guy Griffiths?) spending most of the following weekend in bed very ill after attempting to do a Mumbles one Friday evening.

Happy days on UWAS -- simply the best.
