I remember a story about a couple of sailors quite some years ago who tried to get into the spirit of an airshow at Nowra (an OZ Navy airbase) I think it was, wanted to to do a free demo in one her majesties machines.
It, ended up on the ground;
they, ended up in the slammer, but then sailors???
Then there's the story about the german bank robber who is travelling OZ. He knocked off a bank in Port Headland or some god forsaken West Oz joint- he had done some ab-initio instruction back in the fatherland, a couple of hours - and was looking for a novel fast getaway.
So he knocks off an Airfast '47, then left a clue as to his passing by leaving one skid hanging in the hangar roof and rolled the rest up just a ways further.
The story gets better, he stashes the loot in a roadside drain and hitches a lift south, then claiming he'd been robbed and mugged, presents at hospital to fix his wounds.
Meanwhile the local blacks kids find the loot, and immediately buy out the local pushbike shop, the coppers get sus, they send a wire to the hospital to - "immobilise him in plaster"
Old mate wokes he's been sprung, saws of his cast, escape from the hospital dunny window and wasn't seen for many a year if ever. an that's ridgy didge!
but there's been others, that present with a real live piece of paper saying that they're fully fledged pilots, and welllll ---??
