Again off thread, but in the 1990's a couple of 47AD dispatchers decided the best way to RTB back to Lyneham after a night out in Bath was by bus.

Problem was they nicked it from the bus depot and then took it (IIRC) for a quick gangsta wheels spin around said town. Cue involvement of the local plod ( and loads of blue lights ) before they were finally brought to heel. Some locals thought it was a film shoot, the then CO of 47AD thought otherwise......

I think it went to Court Marshal and some pretty hefty fines - but at least they got home eventually
