A bit off thread but quite amusing - landing at Manston many years ago, Customs came out to search our Wessex 5. They found nothing exciting but we were half a bottle of Scotch over the limit and they said they were going to confiscate it. Quick thinking - we said what if we all sat around the aircraft and drank it? The lovely customs chaps said fine as long as they could join in! If only I had a photo of us sitting in the sun drinking whisky with the customs..............
It made the subsequent transit to Culdrose, where Junglies were based then, sooooooooooooo smooth
