Many years later RAF Kenley was being guarded by some lads in green as part of an 80s exercise to test the humble British soldier against the might of the Russian war machine.
Unfortunately, despite it being a home fixture, the Blue team was not aware of the rules of the game, in particular the specs of the bats, balls etc.
The Red team landed in a Chinookski, and one of the Red team members proceeded to pull-start his petrol-powered stone-grinder as he ran down the ramp with his mates who wielded AK47s and AR15s.
The Blue team promptly locked themselves in the loo until all the shouting was over, and Mummy came to pick them up.
And thus it was that OC A Squadron 21 SAS got sent a big laundry bill by the Quarter-Master of the Royal Somethingorothers, and the Chinook's loadie got a hernia from laughing so much.
