'..was anyone killed? Hurt? Offended, leading to a complaint? Equipment broken?
No, you're correct. All that happened was that two officers in the RAF on active service were found drunk in a public street some (as-yet-to-be-admitted) time before they were due to fly again operationally. If we're to believe the elderly warriors on here, such behaviour is not just traditional, it's almost mandatory.
So that's fine then.
They probably won't pay in the same way, but they'll pay too.
I'm sure they will. And I'm sure they'll be comforted somewhat by the knowledge that it was a genuine mistake, not (I hope) a mistake caused in part by the after-effects of alcohol on the cognitive functions of the brain.
