Anyone at Brize in 87'ish during Taceval when SF mate did something unspeakable with fuelled VC10K and a thunderflash? Guard was beratted by CO and asked why he was seen running away from the incident and not toward the fully fuelled 10k and attached thunderflash!!
I was there as a young SAC AATC sitting in Brize Radar (aah those were the days of making ATIS recordings) local control watching the whole thing. Wondering if the crash bays would absorb the subsequent fireball before it engulfed the tower (and me). My how we laughed... not.
