The following few moments of Busta’s story above are worth recalling as well. One Flt Lt P (this initial - not his real one - will be appreciated by those who knew him) Rimmington ejected. Sadly his parachute did not have the anti inertia mod to its QRB so it came undone and on parachute deployment he fell out of his harness. So P is clearly going to die. But as befits all of P’s adventures (and he had plenty) his harness tangled round an ankle and he came down head first. Clearly going to break his neck on landing. Not P. He came down in the only river for miles. Clearly going to drown. Again no, the BAOR were on both banks doing an amphibious type bit of CT. So seconds later P is on dry land and shortly after in a helicopter en route to the bar at Jever. I could go on but this is not the official history channel.
