I thought it was rocket pods rather than Martel but who cares! It was all electrically initiated with LW sitting with the battery and 2 wires ready to connect at the precise moment!
Didn't the rocket skim the heads of those present to a shout of 'Duck'!
Remember well being told at my first (operational) Dining In on my first tour that I needed to preposition my gas mask and tin hat underneath the table prior to dinner at LLK in 1972!
As soon as the glasses hit the tables after the Loyal Toast, the XV Sqn tables were rolled over to form a barricade, gas masks and tin hats adorned and then the flour bomb assault on II Sqn (on the far leg) commenced! We beat them as they didn't have any protective clothing with them!!!!!
