Remove before flight
"Mice seen in rear hold" to which some enterprising rigger had responded "Cat installed in rear hold"

I was just watching CM's link on my laptop while Mrs G was watching the news.
She suddenly cried out ''oh look at that poor cat!'' I looked up and there it was on the TV.

Old story and not sure if true but transport aircraft carrying loads of missiles with safety pins in with flag saying 'remove before flight' so the loadmaster did

The incident you refer to involved 8 x 8 mx loads (4 Skyflash, 4 AIM9L) during Op CORPORATE, Leuchars to ASI. All motors and warheads armed, and fuse covers and noddy caps removed by the LM. ISTR the AIM9L were returned to the UK because of suspected damage to the seeker heads - the noddy caps were there for impact protection but also to prevent the un-powered heads bouncing off the stops. CM will probably be able to spout the technical details for you because he was a QWI and had to learn all that stuff.

Which only goes to show that there's more comedy genius in a few, worthy, PPRuNe members than all of the Cambridge Footlights.
Remember you saw it here first!
