There was an old story of a B747 that lost and engine on departure out of Heathrow and immediately began dumping. ATC then told the B747 that the "lady was in residence in Windsor" and that he shouldn't be dumping so low.

The captain replied along the lines of, "tell the little old lady that she can have it slowly as it is, or get the whole damn lot with the aeroplane", to which there were no further comments!
