You might be thinking of one of the handlebar moustached idiot's many escapades; in this case a formation take off (Tornado @ LBH) where it is claimed that flap was deselected by the lever becoming caught in the sleeve/glove (never mind the detent).
Same base, approach in doggers wx, similar excuse for no flap approach as he emerged from cloud at about 70 deg bank pointing at the runway caravan.
