When I was in the RAF in 1960 I was stationed at Linton on Ouse in Yorkshire. A full audit of equipment was carried out, it took weeks! It was discovered that a Vampire aircraft was missing; cue for much flapping and headless chicken impersonations.
After several days, it dawned on the brass that the aircraft had been dismantled and most of the bits used as spares. The only recognisable bit left was one tailboom which was found mounted on the wall of the flight crewroom!
