Is this a replay of the 1982 Seychelles farce?

Legendary mercenary Mike Hoare of 1960’s Congo fame ended his career on a whoopee-cushion note in a comic-opera attempt to overthrow the admittedly totalitarian island government.

They were pretending to be a rugby team but one of their number blew the operation when he brought a forbidden fruit basket through customs that triggered a luggage search. They went for their guns and mayhem ensued.

That is something.

Worthy of it’s own thread.

I have not heard of it.
