Many, many years ago, as the only first tourist and Fg Off pilot in Signals Command we were authorised for an ECM sortie to be followed by delivering the sqn cdr, who was the nav, to Waddington for a meeting. Did the wiggly amps bit then turned to the "delivery". Waddo was now way outside my white card limits so I asked the boss where he would like to be delivered to, to complete his journey by road. Following a slightly tense 10 minutes we diverted and the boss went on his way, to return several hours later and we returned to Watton. Half an hour after landing I was summoned to the presence, and offered a handsome apology. Boss and I got on really well after that
