Flew Gazelles with a couple of smoking pilots, one who used a Petrie dish for the ash and butt, another who just lobbed the tab out of the window - except for one unfortunate incident when the tab-end came back in and left a pronounced burn mark on a rear seat. Fortunately for both of us I happened to have the keys to our Flt Store, and replaced the damaged item.

Both, as it happens, were former tank crew - my raised eyebrows when they lit up was met with "Well I used to smoke in a bombed-up panzer......."
