The scene showing an Airman tidying up the mess in the Intelligence Debriefing Room at Hemswell reminds us that those taken off Ops for a "Lack of Moral Fibre" were often reduced to the ranks and given such menial tasks while remaining at their Station. The idea being that it encouraged other aircrew to keep the terror they felt to themselves and "Carry On Regardless".
Not saying it was the case with this guy of course. That would be a Cinéma vérité too far!
