Such things were, obviously, unremarkable in a Services environment. What was remarkable, wes the Wg Co Eng at Abingdon getting 'hands-on' with loading a Single Pin on the Bev - (very tight squeeze track). This involvement came to an unfortunate end later, when he fell from the door of a civilian charter while similarly involved. What would be the insurer's view of pilots off work due to back injuries sustained during such public-spirited action ?
