Not so much a "wish I hadn't said that". Rather a "HELL I WISH I'D SAID/DONE THAT!!"
A Hunter sqn in (I think) Aden - someone will remember which and who and post it here in due course. I wasn't there, but the story became quite famous.
Sqn in bar till God knows when one night and a certain amount of damage/mild(?) high jinks ensued.
Next day, Sqn boss called into Stn Cdr and given huge roasting and told to sort his sqn out with major bollocking.
A bit later, Boss calls all into his office - with hats on -and gets them to stand to attention in front of him.
He then comes round the other side of the desk --- puts on his hat --- presses 'play' on the tape recorder and proceeds to accept a major bollocking (that he'd recorded) with his troops.
