The Iranian observer should have had a written safety brief in farsi. I had identified a need to ensure that they actually understood the brief rather than just nodding - one item was no smoking. The brief was sent to the embassy for translation and this was the first sortie where I believe it was used.
Although all the crew got out it was not without drama. The bomb aimers window broke and acted as a dust scoop. The cabin was completely fogged out in dust.
The nav table was part of the aircraft structure and collapsed trapping the two navigators by the knees. The AEO, St*f E******o heaved the whole thing up to free the other two.
