There was an interesting court martial in the early 70s against a Phantom pilot in the RAF who flew for well in excess of the single engine limitations following an engine failure en-route from the far east into Akrotiri.

I believe their lordships tried him for negligently damaging one of her majesty's engines but the case was dismissed when the strip examination showed nil damage.

Gilbert Blades probably defended him.
