Seem to recall a Hunter at Chivenor (before it closed the first time) had made an emergency landing at some remote airfield whilst hauling Salmon & other stuff in sterilised drop tanks from a Scottish base, apparently crash & smash folk were pretty ill when they took the tanks off after 2 weeks in the open air.
Said Hunter had to be flown with everything locked down (rumour had it that the seat was pinned too) to Brawdy after our rather hasty evacuation of Chiv
Not sure how much (if anything) is true as I was in a drunken haze during my 6 months there
