Possibly apocryphal - the junior officers who painted a scrap Mini to look like the Sqn boss' Mini.

At dining-in night the 'men' removed the Wg Co's Mini and winched the scrap one on to the Mess roof. At an appropriate moment Wg Co was summoned by panicked Mess staff who took him outside to witness his Mini being thrown from the Mess roof by his drunken subordinates.

Flattered/disturbed by above 'sawing' stories as I served on both 55 and 230 Sqns. I, of course, would never get involved in such things. Did you hear about when 230 Sqn painted 18 Sqns 'jeep' in Tiger stripes? Or did you hear about the 230 Sqn dining night when the Mess manager presented the outgoing Wg Co's wife with a silver soup tureen which contained a coiled sleeping boa constrictor (her biggest fear was snakes)?
