Reminds me of taking XH558 to Hawaii on its last-ever Pacific trip (and... I wasn't an "ancient old git" then, BEagle!) On the way out of Honolulu en-route Midway, the bomb door MI came on during take-off, and I dutifully aborted and popped the brake chute. Air Traffic didn't sound at all happy about the whole situation, probably because we were holding up a large number of shiny white jets full of passengers. The plus side was that we got to spend another day in Honolulu while the Chiefs re-packed the chute - and my penthouse suite in the hotel was excellent (but that's another story!)
Happy days.
