K'n C's clip tempted me to search for other such. Among quite a few, there was one from 'Torces News' (whoever they are) on the auction of the Paull relic. The commentary spoke of a 'soldier fatality' through the boom hatch. It wasn't a soldier - it was our co-pilot doing an 0400 preflight in K'sar when the hatch was opened while he was up in the tail behind the toilets and backed out into a void. What was particularly tragic was that we had the only aircraft which hadn't been modified with floor pins connected toi the hatch to prevent such a thing happening.
It was not a good day and made worse by the attitude of the local 'brass' !!
