Loved the bit about the flying tank
According to the front page of The Times today:- (extract only)

"A Helicopter, Land Rover patrols & soldiers under the command of Regimental Sergeant-Major PRATT, have failed to find the rubber tank - officially a "pneumatic deception device" worth £10,000. The lose cannon with a difference was still at large in South Wales yesterday. It was believed to be near Tredegar, possibly heading towards Abergavenny.

Army officers have told police, aviation authorities and local farmers to be ready for its reappearance."


You couldn't make this one up if your tried!
