HOT - Curry?
Back in the days of Ex Crusader in the mid-late 70s (Biggest UK Peacetime call out of the reserves, IIRC) there were may off-shoot exercises, one of these being Exercise Curry Express. At Brüggen 14Sqn was tasked to fly to the last man and as such their Jaguars flew with EVERYTHING hanging off stuffed into corners and as many round as the guns would take. On return Everything, including the fletchers were stripped out of the aircraft by station base engineers, as if returning from a real war sortie. If I remember correctly 14 lasted 4 days and then ceased to exist.
Those that took part that year will remember that it was a very hot German summer with temps in the 30s C (+?). In the tower it was not unusual to hear a high pitched cry of Barrier!! from a departing 14 Jag, and the departure barrier in the standby position (halfway up) would be hurriedly lowered by the local controller. IIRC the standby height of the barrier was about 8' and the aircraft crossed the barrier at about 4'
