Ah yes, Al R, but said RAFP would also have had a hungry woolly alligator, plus an SMG and probably a pistol as well with which to hold off the red hordes!
Just our luck to be allocated the 'shape' on a Strike Force Dispersal exercise once - we arrived at Finningley before the RAFP guards did. Playing the 2-man principle thing, we 2 pilots stayed in the cockpit whilst the 3 rear crew walked to the perimeter, then 2 of them came back on board leaving just 'Mongo', our Nav Radar, to fight off all comers with just his 9mm Browning, threatening voice and 'imposing presence'!
It really was a bit Dad's Army at times - but what fun times they were!
Although our gallant groundcrew, having once successfully nabbed an intruder, had to be advised that using locking wire to tie his thumbs to the chain-link fence whilst making him stand on tip-toe in his shreddies was perhaps taking things a bit too far!
