[QUOTE=mahogany bob;11337637]Thoughtful Flier

I am NOT trying to justify bad behaviour because of stress.

But I do think that people who are able to handle constant stress ie the Arrows are unlikely to be the quiet reserved type

I know one swallow does not make a summer, but Cheshire VC flew some 100 missions, the later ones as OC 617, and some as Pathfinder Master. The accumulative stress must be beyond mere mortals' imagination. At a crude guess, between 500 and 1000 hours, mostly at night, in all weathers, in crowded skies and subject to every attempt by a clever enemy to kill him.
I have never seen a hint of Red behaviour.
