just be thankfully they never had you locked on with a missile, if they had Mrs Pegleg would not have been worried about the spilt paint |

Mrs Pegleg was fine with about the spillage. Wing Co 'Biggles Flies Open' got all the blame |

I remember years ago using out forklift to grab a pallet of fertiliser sacks 1.5 tonnes from a the top of a 4 pallet high stack, always a nervy job, gentle gentle slow slow just at the pint of easing out of the stack, sort of the point of no return an RAF tornado over flew the shed and made one hell of a noise.

Back in the 80s you would have had one over your house every few minutes, we had an Airforce then. Spent many happy but sweaty hours having some great scraps there. The lad, or lass, who caused you to spill your paint was off side if he/she was using reheat - or afterburner as you called it, that's the American term for it, as it is not allowed overland unless required in an emergency when max thrust is needed. Apparently it scares the locals and make them fall off ladders.

They should know better, but sometimes in the heat of the moment you just go for it and really p... someone off. Next thing you know the "fun police " are knocking on the squadron door and you have some explaining to do, particularly if someone gets hurt or farm animals go berserk. A mate of mine overflew a zoo because he was a bit off track. A keeper was working on an elephant's foot and when the jet went over the elephant kicked the keeper in the balls!! That went on for quite a while. A least in your case you didn't fall off the ladder. Hope the clean-up went well.
