Laarbruch hooligans....
Can anyone corroborate the following story which I remember my UAS QFI relating? His previous tour had been on Canberras at Laarbruch. One winter the RAFG ski champs were at Garmisch. On the opening morning the officer i/c the championships was on a chairlift escorting the AOC RAFG to the top of the mountain for some opening ceremony.
Suddenly there was a roar from behind them. One of my QFI's mates had taken it upon himself to open the championships in some style and was flying up the piste, below the level of the top of the pylons. Don't believe he was drawing flying pay for much longer after that....
