A stude on the course after mine (in '79) had to abandon his 'dog after an altercation with a thunderstorm. He'd done a few civvy static line jumps and took a perfect landing - the instructor hit the centre of the only slurry pit for miles...
Another who I last saw on 706 had already got his tie aged 17 on an RN acquaint course - pilot had over-cooked a torque turn, showing off to the would-be WAFU, and the Wasp met the briny. As a mere Midshipmite he used to get the odd funny look at Culdrose when wearing it.
