Prior to deployment to Gulf 1, the crabs spent milions on a project run by a professor, on choosing a desert colour scheme for their helicopters. An AAC Brigadier did the same thing by standing up through the sunroof of his staff car as a Gazelle flew past him with a choice of colour on each side!
Or the Flight Commander who on returning from a muddy exercise, decided to hover his Gazele under an commercial farm sprinkler system. Needless to say it all went very quiet! No names Chris W!
I once flew a particularly fierce passenger to an exercise location whose grid my crewman had written on his kneepad, only to discover that there was no one there! Yep, we arrived at a telephone number! Not top 50 material but very amusing at the time!
Daly and Thompson once cornered the market on amusing adventures!
One for the top 50 must be Greville Edgecobe's story of dropping off a Brigadier at a garden party. He couldn't see anywhere to land his Scout other than the tennis court with a high surrounding fence. This he did, unloaded his pax and flew back to the Squadron. He was met by a fairly upset O.C. who explained that the tennis court had been locked up and now the Brigadier was as well. Greville's own story paints a much better picture. In fact he could possibly fill the top 50 himself!
