In the 80s whilst on my second tour at Laughing Laarbruch, the station had just won an RAFG award for Engineering Excellence (the something trophy?) when the ASF guys got a post maintenance fuelling sequence a bit wrong and a Jag was seen to sit down on its a*se outside the big hangar. (Not as dramatic as watching a Vulcan do it but pretty amusing nonetheless) The stn photog Who had his section just a few feet away spotted the calamity and took loads of pictures...

Allegedly, and possibly to prevent embarrassment, all the pictures were destroyed on orders from the local engineering hierarchy....

Could the picture be post that incident?
