I remember Oelof Bergh reminiscing about his experiences in Korea, where he was flying Meteors “on detachment” to the RAAF; one of these concerned getting caught short while airborne.

Being fairly agile at that stage of his career Oelof managed to unstrap, lower his flying suit and shreddies, spread his map over the seat pan (no double entendre intended) and relieve himself.It turned out not to be the most comfortable experience, though.

Since he would not be hands on the controls for a while, he had trimmed the Meatbox into a level gentle turn, so that the resulting orbit would mean he had finished his c***p more or less where he had started. Sadly, he said, he hadn’t noticed part of the orbit took him over the communist anti-aircraft defences, so some parts of his Code Brown were more nervous than others.
