Proper theft
Vaguely recall a story being told to me about an A.A.C. helicopter being nicked from Middle Wallop. Apparantly a low-loader turned up at main gate one day and the driver stated he was there to collect an aircraft, (from the historic flight?), and take it for re-spray. He even got help loading it, so the story goes. Local police finally found it about 6 months later hidden in a local barn.
Its a good story, but somehow hard to believe.
