In the 60's BA lost a Trident, Papa India, when the captain had a heart attack on takeoff. Subsequently their co-pilots were intensively briefed to watch for signs of subtle incapacitation. The story goes that during a particularly hairy approach a young co-pilot leaned across to his captain and said, "Excuse me, Sir, but are you having a subtle incapacitation?"
