It wasn't the last time either; when 7 and 230 supported one of the D-Day commemoration events at Caen they 'borrowed' our diplomatic clearance number for the transit. All would have been well but the weather for the return to RAFG was p***s and the Pumas ended up landing on the beach somewhere near Calais. The Gendarmerie duly turned up and I understand things got a little interesting for a while when the dipclear was found to be for Chinooks!
