Just been reading through the thread I saw post 718 and J's ejection.-I recall the Gp Capt Cowpat incident-indeed, the number of IWIHST stories about him and exercises would fill a whole thread. The best two for me were as DISTAFF hoax phone calling him as "The Red Hand of Ulster" and his not having made a note of anything the caller said, and with the connivance of OC Arm Eng (now I think a 2*) putting an exercise letter bomb through the system - oily patch, wire, unequal weight,etc, and picked up every time until it was in the CoC. Said to Stn Cdr, could he hang on and we'd demo to the execs. "No" he said, "it's addressed to me", and as he opened it with a flourish with his dinghy knife, it burst into flames! Ho, ho!!
