Many years ago our boss, ex 35 Sqn, told us eager studes of dropping live 1000lb ers on a range.. When they set the bomb release for, IIRC, 'groups of 3', to be repeated 7 times, just it didn't quite work as advertised...
Bombs released and they counted as they fell earthwards .. one, two, three .. four, (four?) err five, **** six .. you get the picture. The end of the range was rapidly approaching and the only thing they could think of to stop the bloody things hurting anyone below was to close the bomb doors..
On arrival back at Scampton they called for the armourers to come and have a look because there were loose live bombs below.. Apparantly the armourers took one look at the bomb doors, which by sheer force of pressure were holding one said object in their clutches, half in and half out of the bomb bay, for said gentleman to leg it fast and wait until they got proper support and safety kit.
