Sounds like Air Cmdr Stacey around 71. One exercise, after endex, he went in to the photo section compound and found a stack of SLRs. He picked them up and put them in his staff car. Expecting a huw and cry he went back but all was silent so he collected all the ammo too. Still nothing.
Later in the day the armoury rang the photo section to hasten their return of weapons. "They've gone back Sgt".
Another time, brilliant this one, he let off several tear gas cannisters in Rock HQ. After the air raid the all clear was sounded from Rock HQ and the rocks unmasked without doing a sniff check.
Later we drove passed and every door and window was wide open
