One of our squadron pilots was tour-ex in Changi and was in a Brittania for his flight back to the UK. It was the normal scheduled families aircraft full of similiarly tour-ex personnel and their families. During the take-off roll he noticed that both airlerons wre hanging down so without further ado he stood up and shouted to the loadmasters that there was something seriously wrong with the aircraft. This was communicated to the cockpit so they abandoned the take off at a fairly late stage.
When the dust had settled he was debriefed fairly firmly by the captain who refused to take him the next day after the full mainwheel tyre change that was required. This attitude was backed up by the station commander so he had to wait even longer for another aircraft.
He ended up on Harriers. They don't used ailerons at certain stages of flight either.
