The use of the Tudor/Supertrader during the Suez fiasco was the initiator for the only instance I ever encountered of the charge of "Spreading alarm and despondency" being made!!
One of our 'Siggies' was a keen spotter and was catapulted from his post lunch charpoy session by the unmistakable noise of throttled back Merlins in the Khormaksar circuit. He was still a little 'tired and emotional' from the amount imbibed and stared in amazement as quantities of pongos deplaned from this 'not fit for passenger carrying' machine. He took it upon himself to spread the word about the Tudor's inadequacies to the assembled pax rather too effectively as they then refused to re-embark for their onward flight to Nairobi. The Movement Officer was not best pleased with this situation and the charge was duly made. From memory, the punishment was a great many Orderly Sergeant duties. It was the only time I saw the Tudor operating.
... Is 'spreading alarm and despondency' still a military offence???
