According to the widely respected Sun -
The Air Component Commander (ACC) in charge of operations was so furious he immediately slapped a two-week booze ban on the 700 RAF personnel — air and ground crew — at the airbase.
The dry zone was extended to all colleagues serving on Operation Ellemy, including those at an airstrip in Bari 100 miles away and at the RAF's Cyrpus HQ Akrotiri, where Nimrod and Sentinel spy planes are operating from.
Typical bit of heavyhanded, not thought through, over reaction. Deal with the guilty and let the innocent get on with their work and a bit of light drinking.
