Wrathmonk - an interesting point, possibly more relevant to the Loadie though.

Innocent until proven guilty? I suppose we better behave ourselves now that the names are out. It'll depend on the evidence, rather than whether they did it or not. Is it illegal to have a suitcase full of cash under your bed? I think not.

Anyway, to keep it tidy:-


BBC News - Four RAF men on smuggling charges


Four RAF men on smuggling charges


Four RAF servicemen have been charged over smuggling cigarettes on military flights into two English RAF bases. HM Revenue & Customs said inquiries suggested huge quantities were smuggled into RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire and RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
The men, arrested earlier this year, were charged with conspiracy to evade the duty chargeable on commercial-scale quantities of cigarettes.
They are due to appear at Bristol Magistrates' Court on 5 January.
The men are: Senior Aircraftsman Paul Garbutt, 30, of Billingham, Teesside; Cpl Stuart Helens, 30, of Sunderland; Sgt Stuart Walker, 42, of Basingstoke, Hampshire and Cpl Thomas Warren, 21, of Lyneham, Wiltshire.
