I remember this day well

We had to sit for best part of an hours rotors running waiting for the fire crews to deal with it before ATC would let us depart,the who airfield went Black for a while...

The big concern was the Bombs on it going off, also you could hear a Pred operator arguing with the Yank ATC as his aircraft was parked and over heating with even more bombs but couldn't shut down so they were afraid of more explosions....

ATC wouldn't let them move.....
