I was not allowed into the RAF camp without an escort, so one of the players that I knew (who wasn't playing) had to get a Jeep and drive to the main gate, and escort me to the game. Couple of beers after the game there was no-one to walk me back to the main gate, so I borrowed a Jeep and drove myself back to the main gate, and went home. Very bad security.

(ex) HQ of the RAF Regiment, those who don't fly, but make sure the bases are secure. Especially in enemy territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd, not quite London, not quite country. Tory stranglehold (MP Boris), but many Labour councillors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the RAF, what did you expect, of the three forces they IME were the most slap-dash, wouldn't trust half of them to boil an egg, watching their lads tick-tocking is @@@@ing hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
