You remember those long boring nights spent in the guardroom on duty dog? There were a stack of old logs that were just begging to be read? I remember one in particular:
Entry in the Finningley Guardroom log: (Then the home of the navigation school...)
20:30 - Ord Cpl and 2 airmen dispatched to NAAFI shop to investigate disturbance
20:45 – Ord Cpl and 2 Airmen returned to Guardroom – sweep carried out – nothing found
21:05 – Disturbance reported behind NAAFI Shop – Ord Cpl and 2 Airmen dispatched again to investigate
21:25 Ord Cpl and 2 Airmen back in Guardroom – again nothing found
21:40 Ord Sgt and 2 airmen to investigate another disturbance reported at NAAFI Shop
22:20 Above back in Guardroom. Discovered source of disturbance. Found a Flt Lt Smith, in an inebriated state close to the NAAFI Shop. When asked by the Ord Sgt if he needed any help to return to his accommodation Flt Lt Smith replied that he was a fcuking navigator and he’d find his own way fcuking way home!
