I find it intriguing that, on one hand people highlight the absence of a bowl of cornflakes as if this was a direct causal factor, but on the other seem to ignore more irritating elements as questionable airworthiness and unsound judgements.
PS. Having worked with SH for a while when in the RAF I can't remember one occasion where an operational crew actually managed 'three square' in a single day. Something to do with the tasking regime and operational tempo demanded by the hierarchy?
