Binbrook in the mid 80s. Survival scramble is called and 15 or so Lightnings start up and taxy. First jet away thunders off down the runway and as it rotates the canopy comes off and smacks the fin. Result - Taceval on hold and a large number of fuel guzzling aircraft queued up waitng to go whilst the damaged aircraft recovers. Aircraft landed safely thankfully.
Taceval Part 1 in the snow at Binbrook where in over 10 hours not a single aircraft was generated due to them all being stuck in the hangar behind tons of snow
Years later at Lyneham was one of the lucky ones on the B Line nightshift who were all killed off within 30 mins of arriving in work, the reason being that there were too many techies for the number of available aircraft. Best Taceval ever thats for sure.
