Stumpy and I were on 360 together, and chanced to arrange our weddings on the same day. RN and RAF attended both weddings and a good time was had by all. I was starkly reminded by the 91 Wyton Canberra accident of an accident at Watton in the 60s when Stumpy and Dave Moore (RIP also) set off in a Canberra T4 for a CT sortie, to start with a practice EFATO. Clearly it all turned to worms and only at a late stage did the guys in front regain control, by which time sadly Norman Lake had ejected without getting rid of the hatch first and sadly died. It was discovered afterwards that there were as many varieties of mod standard, and solid and frangible hatches as there were T4s and B2s on the station.
