An Army doctor fraudulently booked thousands of pounds worth of flights to visit his family, a court heard today.
Lieutenant Colonel Chris Baird-Clarke was moved from his job in Scotland to a new role in England assisting new recruits, but was unhappy with the posting.
A court martial heard that even after he was told he could not claim an allowance for the flights, he continued to book the travel through the Army without telling his superior officers.
The prosecutor said Lt Col Baird-Clarke, just wanted to fly home at public expense so came up with a ploy to achieve his aim.
