On a flight from Sharjah to Bahrain my navigator in the right hand seat decided he wanted to try out the chromium plated pee tube for size.. I pointed out we had a toilet down the back and some poor sod would have to empty the pee container after we landed, but the nav persisted with his plan, unzipped his flying suit and christened the shiny tube.
When we retrieved our bags after landing the nav’s heavy holdall was soaking wet as it had been directly under his seat and someone had removed the bladder that should have been on the end of the rubber pipe connected to his pee tube. Poetic justice had been served,
