Believe the nav got the blame for not telling his pilot he was about to fly through a tree! At a dining-in night at a secret base in Lincolnshire, some time later, BAe presented the pilot with a bird's nest mounted on a small plinth. They had spent a considerable amount of time repairing the F4 in question "after a bird strike". Unfortunately, the bird had been sitting in the tree at the time.
