Once upon a time in Cyprus, the pongos were hosting a 'farrparr' demo at Epi. Amongst which was a Vulcan, due to drop 21 x 1000 lb bombs.

The Tin Triangle lumbered into view, but there'd been some navigatorial switch pigs and the bombs didn't release....until, that is the captain jettisoned them live. What appeared to be a large black object detached itself from the Vulcan and hurtled towards the sea, those in the know huddled down in their seats and waited.

There was a ginormous BOOM, part of the Mediterranean nearly made it into low Earth orbit and an impressive shower drenched most of the audience.

"Vewwy impwessive", said one of the pongos, "But what happened to the other twenty?"
