I also remember the 45 pounder at RAF Odiham that was used as an underslung, loaded with some toilet rolls forced down the barrel and a thunderflash popped in the breach had a suitable effect which could get them over the hangar roof and that was before you got the soft stuff.



Often remembered people borrowing it for functions turning up in their cars with towing hitches and hooking the monster on the towing eye before dissapearing into the sunset whilst attempting to still see over the bonnet.


Ahh... the old hard shiney white Toilet paper, each sheet lovingly crafted and individually printed with the words "Government property" on them, as if anyone would steal it.........

It was and still is, the only Government White Paper ever worth a sh*t.
