660 sqdn 1976 at Long Kesh.
One staff sergeant tech over indulges in the field workshops bar and in unable to find his way back.
Next morning the squadron duty officer is called to the guard room to recover the said individual who was arrested by the guards while attempting to climb over the security fence into the Maze prison!!!!

It was also about this time that the AAC made an attempt to bomb the Jacobs biscuit factory close to Kesh.

Scouts were flying with handling wheels removed to save weight (25 pounds). For reasons unknown the pins were removed from the wheel but the wheel was left in place.

This wasn't noticed by the crew and the offending wheel fell off into the factory car park narrowly missing the building. Much embarrasment on being asked by the factory manager if we would like our wheel back.
