As to Pops view of the cousin...lets just say...... not very favourable!

Must be honest mind, the odd Bootneck who did the RMP's course with the Army could turn into a right Tosser. Not very often mind but it did happen. But as you said about your bad apples they were normally sorted out by their fellow Coppers.
The only time I fell foul of the RAF Police was once in Malta circa 78/79 I was staggering back to Fearless which was tied up in Valettas Grand Harbour with a couple of Oppos all of us singing our heads of when up popped an RAF L/Rover. Had quite a restful night and the food was non to bad in the Morning.
