I seem to remember that was a couple of RAFP lads at Laarbruch, early 80's.
There was another, similar, escapade where a couple of 'equally smart lads' got some dosh out of a bank at Wildenrath and the call went out on BFBS Radio and TV (it was there then) for all listeners/viewers to be on the look out for the getaway car...a brown Allegro!
In a country full of VW's, Merc's and Beemers, they didn't last long!
