NutherA2 - great dit.
Bit off-thread this next bit:
I seem to remember be told a dissimilar story by a Gp Capt Nav (Gp Capt Cadets at Cranwell in 1990??) who, as an FO on 9 Vulcans, helped nick 617's bit of the Tirpitz. As they got airborne they got a Grade One div back to Scampers. They declared a Mayday with an engine fire indications (false), divved into Wittering, shut down in the bondu and chucked the scrap iron over the hedge. He went back that night in his motor and re-acquired it for the squadron. OC 9 very happy. OC 617 less so. Or was it the other way round?
I seem to remember that forgetting to sign the 700 was deemed to be "stealing of of Her Majesty's aircraft". In which case I wise to have several dozen cases taken into consideration.
