In another life we were shown photos of burns on aircrew. Nylon wrist-watch bands were deadly because the nylon melted into the wrist. And would you believe that wearing socks that needed darning because toes were exposed, was equally horrifying to see burnt off toes. These were wartime aviation medicine photos.
Strange though that may seem, all these shocking photos paled in comparison to the 'orrible venereal disease photos of spotted and oozy dongers that we were shown as young recruits in the Air Force. Put me off for life - well almost.
