I can remember a period in '78 when the Army were stationed round the perimeter road. My wife worked in Queens Building at the time and I drove in the first day they were there to pick her up; a popular place for spotters under final for 09L was full of armoured personnel carriers (must have annoyed the spotters).
It wasn't 'til we drove home that I remembered I had my air rifle in the boot so it's lucky they weren't doing 'stop and search'!
