I got hit on right base to Battersea recently. Got me in the right eye first go. I just thought I'd been dazzled until just after leaving Battersea I developed something akin to conjunctivitis or "arc eye". It wore off over a period of days.
The Met police took it very seriously as it was just after Jan 16th and I had a full load of pax on board. Forget the courts, just chuck them into a crew room full of angry pilots armed with base ball bats. T***ers.
