Not chopped (see below) but most certainly NOT recommended SAR.

Can remember one debrief in its entirety:

In was, in truth, an awful trip - computer out drums or some such nonsense - so not only "God Save the Queen" but "Land of my Fathers" played on the RRPM. The walk back into 3 Sqn CFS(H) - as it was then - was kind of quiet.

Taken into one of those tiny "photo booth" type briefing/debriefing cells by Tall Geordie QHI:

TGQ: Well, that wasna quite bad enough to chop yer! It wasna even bad enough to re-fly ......... [long pause] .... but it was fing awful!

Whereupon we briefed and auth'd the solo trip that followed! (Computer out not allowed)
