NRU74, that seems more likely than drinking on the day.
Not necessarily - We lost our co-pilot in K'sar when he fell through the boom hatch, in the dark, doing the pre-flight. He died from his injuries and was buried that afternoon. In spite of the 'caring' offer of the local Wg Cdr Fg to provide another co-pilot, our Skipper (Andy Andrusekevic(sp?)), forcefully expressed his opinion and took us all off to the bar. Alcohol can help, at times!!
