It used to bug the crap out of me that were not allowed to run the Tens during the night because of the locals that had moved next to a bloody airfield and then complained about aircraft noise...
Even the Station Commander got into the act and we had a running ban during Church Parade in force... We thought one time when we got told we couldn't run, if we can't beat them, then join them, and we all turfed up to church in our line clothes... Sadly Gods right hand man wasn't have any of it and we were refused entry... One hopes St Peter will be a bit more forgiving in the future.
My last Ground Run in the RAF I did a VIP during God Slot and because it was on a Royal I had permission to do a low power run.... I had them up at full chat
and OC Ops ended up wanting a chat as the Staish wasn't happy, but with a day to do there wasn't a lot they could do
