RAFG Recce stories.
These could fill a thread.
For example:
Recce Hunter coming back to Gutersloh during a Taceval flames out in the overhead out of fuel. Pilot skilfully deadsticks and rolls to a halt at which point
MFPU ( Mobile Field Processing Unit ) team roll up and download the film back for interpretation - it was 30 minutes in those days from engine-off to MisRep ( Mission report) out.( none of the later 45 minutes NATO RecceExrep, dictated by those other nations who couldn't hack it).
Whilst fast film processing ( well over 100 feet per minute per camera ) is going on - film being flung on to light tables for rapid interpretation and P.I.'s knocking out reporting, all are suddenly aware of a kerfuffle among the judges .

Arguing as to when "engine off" time should be calculated.........
