Mid-80s during a maxeval at a a north German base on the German/Dutch border. It's 2am and everything is quiet. All the guards on 'Blue' Sqn are deligently looking out from their sangers that surround the Sqn. Enter one Chinnook into the dark night that swoops in and drops off a ful load of rock aps inside the Sqn area spoiling for fun. Result, utter chaos! Nobody knew which way to turn, mostly everybody was facing the wrong way and the funniest thing was the police landrover that drove up and swithed on it's spot light, to be greeted by a hail of blank ammo fire, only then to drive off in the other direction never to be seen again. The Rock Apes had a merry time. The only problem was the next day, when there was to be a full flying programme as part of the ex, but this had to be cancelled as the whole area was fodded with brass cartridges and all sqn per had to come out of the ex and do a major fod plod. Happy days.
