Hang em high.........
Gents, I was told this first hand by a sqn exec when it happened who was totally shocked by the level at which people would stoop to make money. The box in question was evidently marked as PE's of an individual and placed on the aircraft by persons for collection by the movers on arrival. It was manifested as PE's but the people responsible for removing the PE's were only aware of one box and thus the crew were alerted and the other box taken away for investigation before the box could be collected by others. There are rotten apples in every barrel and I for one hope they receive the full punishment appropriate to their crime, dishonorable discharge and loss of pension etc. Did it sell a few more newspapers, probably not but it did bring the RAF into disrepute and that is another matter that said individuals need to be punished for.
