A classic abuse of power happened at an RAF FTS when the late, unlamented 'PCL' was Stn Cdr.
He invited all the students due to graduate and receive their wings the following day to his residence...
...to act as beaters for his tame game birds, so that they could be blasted away by various visiting Air Wheels, with whom the PCL was schmoozing. But they did their job so effectively that the birds all buggered off into the distance at warp snot before anyone could take aim
PCL? Power Crazed Loony.
