Now then you droppers of things, a quick question. I spent my first tour out of Halton Apprenticeship at RAF Colerne 71-73. A rumour abounded during my time there that an Albert had flown over, and an unsecured chain tensioner had detached and penetrated two floors of our ATC building (the tower ?). I can imagine that a tensioner at terminal velocity could certainly do some damage, but two floors ? Anyone else have knowledge of the incident, or was it once again, rumour ?

PS Coff, have a nice trip to Prague. It's a nice place.
