Not OP but there's a show called '999 what's your emergency?' which is the call centre staff and it really opens your eyes to the extra stuff services are often required to try and help or deal with beyond their nominal role. I'd recommend trying to find that around if you're interested and he doesn't reply.

In addition to SidSid's comments can I recommend two books?

Simon Murray - Legionnaire

mark morgan - Legionnaire Mackenzie

An englishman's and a northern irish guys biography of their time in the Legion and brilliant reads.

That's exactly it. Communal fining via an unofficial snack based system. Minor stuff will just be biscuits for the team, going up to sausage rolls, Mr Kipling and bookers (like a cash and carry) cakes for larger or multiple offences.

They may be referring to the fact that the CAA is/has greatly increased license costs for airshows this year, potentially killing several small shows. It's not the RA but the civilian air authority.

Depends if they are dried or not. 7g+ is heroic on dried... Not fresh. Perfectly doable tho.
