Someone it would seems got wind of the "fact" that RAF Tornadoes were being used to host dinner parties etc. They sent a request to the MOD for confirmation of how many times this travesty had occurred, and the MOD responded by confirming that, unless you were having "dinner party for one", it was not possible.
