Life in the jungle serving on a Special Operations Squadron was something of a boring life because of the tight security. There was nothing in Jessore to relieve the boredom, so it is hardly surprising that hair was let down on New Years Eve.
During an all ranks party, among other events, someone torched the lavatory "basha" annd the fire crew instead of using the extinguishers, threw them on the fire! Among those present at the party was the Squadron Gunnery Leader, a Flight Lieutenant of Italian origin, complete with kilt,red headed and sporting an enormous handlebar moustache and very much under the influence. Not being the most popular member of the unit, it was not surprising that next morning he awoke to find that half of his pride and joy had been shaved off.
So much for a mixture of boredom and beer.
