Wattisham, last year of the Phantom, AOC 11 Gp enjoying a week of refresher flying. Sqn feeder u/s, so AOC's lunch being provided by the Mess (a 10 min drive).
Team lands from morning sortie, lead checks to see that AOC's sandwiches have arrived in time for the 'working lunch' debrief but finds job has not been done. Ops clerk is instructed: "Send the driver to the Mess NOW to pick up the AOC's sarnies!"
Debrief complete, still no driver, delay now reaching embarrassing proportions. Crewroom door eventually opens to reveal sweaty driver clutching tray of artfully arranged sandwiches.
"Where have you been?" asks lead.
"Sorry sir, I went to the Mess to pick up AVM Sarnies but I couldn't find him. I've got the AOC's lunch though!"
Driver exits stage left to howls of laughter from all players...
