Several years ago an induhvidual was walking out of the bunker (I think it was Neatishead?). Fixed along the corridor walls are eyelets for the escape guide rope. Said induhvidual was idly running his hand along the guide rope and his thumb entered an eyelet, did not get extricated in time and he broke it...subsequently sued and WON because no-one had told him he shouldn't use the escape line when it wasn't an emergency.
At least he had the good grace to pass the award on the RAFBF.
I thought it was Buchan....and it didn't stop him getting promoted!
