One evening at Cork, the 727 doing the UPS schedule got airborne with the rear cargo door unlocked. The packages started coming out at VR and continued to decorate the countryside all the way round the circuit until it landed back. I have forgotten what most of the boxes contained but it was very expensive.

I think they also had to shut No.3 down.

Anyway, it gave a whole new meaning to being a freight distributor!
