It would have been rather difficult to explain the loss of a Wg Cdr Squadron Commander if he had applied my "Highest rank stays behind" policy! - Danny
What an incredible tale, with a suitably happy ending for
nearly all concerned.
Sorry about the headman.
Interestingly enough, and although not strictly comparable, the Submarine Service policy was always virtually the same as Danny's in sunken submarine scenarios- survivors exit the submarine in reverse seniority order.....
