The pilot, based with Britain's 659 Army Air Corps squadron in Suffolk, eastern England, was on a map-reading training drill when he dropped off the pizza to his girlfriend who was taking part in an exercise 30 miles away.


The 25-year-old lieutenant had picked up the takeaway before setting out on the sortie in his Lynx helicopter, the Sun newspaper reported on Tuesday. He was reprimanded but did not have his pilot's license taken away, the paper added.


"The opportunity to add a light-hearted element to the planned sortie was taken but with no detriment to the sortie objective," a UK defense ministry spokeswoman told Reuters.


"The chain of command do not condone these actions and have disciplined the individuals concerned

or by fire engine

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Embarrassed emergency officials are investigating reports a Sydney fire station was unable to respond to an alarm because a fireman had taken the station's only fire truck to pick up a pizza and give some friends a joyride.



Fire officials said Monday there had been no risk to the public even though the fire station in the beachside suburb of Maroubra had been unable to respond to a call three weeks ago because the truck was missing.


But they confirmed they were investigating media reports that the fireman on duty had gone to pick up a pizza and then took some friends for a spin in his shiny red truck.


"This is extremely rare," said New South Wales Fire Brigade assistant commissioner John Benson. "I would say that this incident is unheard of in the New South Wales Fire Brigade in regards to utilizing fire appliances in an inappropriate manner and ... it's being thoroughly investigated," he told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.


A fire engine from a neighboring station had already responded to the emergency call, described as a fire door alarm, before the Maroubra truck's absence was noted, Benson said

And the world gets just a little bit dumber.

I think by the time they can pilot a helicopter it's probably too late for birth control.
