In the early 90s I was on the Duty Working Crew (at the secret Wiltshire airbase) one Friday. We were stood down so despatched with all speed for happy hour to start drinking, shortly followed by a tannoy for the DWC - I took the call, & Ops said they had a task for us, a fast taxy test for a nosewheel shimmy - I pointed out that we'd all been drinking, & the OpsO asked 'How many have you had?' !! It may not have been 'flying' exactly, but still 'drunk in charge of a vehicle'....
I was always led to believe that the In-flight meal boxes provided by the French Air Force contained a small bottle of wine.....
A friend who was on Nimrods in the 70s was stood down & in the bar when Staneval called him up, looking to do a check ride. When advised that he had been drinking, Staneval said, 'You've haven't had more than one pint have you?'!
