Do you remember the story of the pilot posted from Laarbruch (XV Sqn?) to Lossie and decided to use a landaway at Lossie to ferry much of his kit prior to posting? Picture bomb bay loaded with stereo, record collection, cameras, mess kit, and various uniforms, so leaving said pilot to travel light to subsequent posting..........
Now picture said ac, 480 kts at LL over N. Sea when up on the radar appears a solitary Leander-class frigate just begging to be attacked! Hereafter SOP's takeover and into attack mode goes the crew which includes rotating the bomb bay whereupon miscellaneous matelots find themselves "bombed" by some rather strange looking bombs.
Much embarrassment all round and no insurance cover for the loss of "baggage" in transit!
Must have happened in mid 1979.......
