This story was legendary in the Royal Air Force when I went through trade training as how not to do your job! Some of the details had been sprinkled with exaggeration as they passed through word of mouth, I never believed the bit about the bowser near miss.

On the bench: Airfix 1/48 Sea King HC4, Revell 1/24 Trabant.
Coming soon: Airfix 1/72 Phantom FGR2.
Just finished: Airfix 1/48 Stuka & Airfix 1/72 Sea King HC4.
