IOT Cranditz, mid 80s. Drill. Prospective WRAF PTI unable to do "stan dat ICE" properly due to big thigh muscles and tight skirt. After nth attempt, Rockape FS shouts "Don't you know what 12 inches looks like, Miss H...?".
"OH, YES!! Flight Sargeant". Only time I've seen a DI lost for words.

Brawdy in deepest Welsh Wales, late 80s. BIG party at Air Show (e.g. 2 F16s invited, 16 show up. 2 Tornados became 8, etc). Rummage around in 234 Sqn loft has turned up WWII gun camera film, rapidly converted to video for backdrop at Aircrew P*ssup. Much amusement for all, including Luftwaffe/Marine FJ types, until a German Transall crew turns up. Captain sees video & stomps off, demanding all his crew follow. Dutch F16 dude shouts "Can't take a joke - shouldn't have started it!"

Location joke: Try explaining to a German policeman, in French (my German's rubbish), why a Norwegian pilot in a British flight suit is hanging upside-down from a lamp-post 20 foot off the ground singing rude songs, at 2am. Talk about looking after your wingie. Arrests avoided.
