Bump!
As a Halton Brat in the late 70's, me and two mates were stagering back to the block, one snowy night, after some rehydration in Henderson NAAFI (28p/pint)
(Earlier on that evening, there had been a massive snowball fight with the DE underachievers, and we had been packing stones in our snowballs and broken over 30 windows in their block, coppers and duty staff were on the prowl.)
We had been to the bar to celebrate.
My mate said, 'I bet you can't hit that lamp post from here' Sure enough, I couldn't, and neither could he.
But it was enough for the Orderly Sergeant to spot us and charge us with vandalism, or 'Throwing Ice-balls at RAF property'
It was that famous EngO who took off in the Lightning that heard the charge. Marched In - £5.00 fine - then a pep talk
'Where are you from, young man?'
'Reading, Sir'
'Ah, you don't get much vandalism in Reading, do you?'
(couldn't resist it)
'Not while I'm at Halton, Sah!'
