My eyes are bleeding.

In 2007 (give or take a year or two) the editor of the RAF Coningsby Station magazine (a current FJ Sqn Boss who shall remain nameless) didn’t quite manage complete, due diligence during the editorial process.

A photograph of a group of pilots in flying suits was published and nobody noticed the ‘twig and giggleberries’ of one of the pilots was protruding (deliberately) from his zip.

It was eventually noticed and all copies were recalled (including from CAS’ outer office). The editor then spent many happy hours with a thick (or maybe thin), black marker pen redacting the offending appendage before recirculating the publications.
