DI staff on the Jump Seat mentions that we have just been hit by a SAM and we have lost number 4 engine and the B system hydraulics. "No problem" says we, "we're diverting to the nearest suitable alternate". So we land at Waddington where it transpires we have now developed a real snag (yes we did - honest!) which prevented us returning to the TACEVAL fun and games at home base. Our engineers can't come and fix us because they're all required for some essential guarding duties. So we spend two days in the pub while we wait for the recovery team.

DI staff didn't complain either!
