Sem to remember many years ago reading that, during the war, elsans in Lancasters used to be topped up by the crew on the way out to Germany and chucked out (the whole thing, not just the contents) over the target until the germans complained that we were engaging in chemical warfare.

Probably a myth, but the thought of being flattened by a chemical toilet arriving at near supersonic speed is not pleasant.
