The AVTUR doesn't burn incident is true. It happened, as said, at Detmold in the early 80s. The match wasn't thrown into the tank, but into a pool of fuel on the pan. As we know it can be difficult to light, but this was on a warm summers day, so up it went. The culprit's name was Brayne. Mine sounds the same, so when I was posted in following my pilot's course, they thought it was him returning.
