I was enjoying the sun at the more basic end of Oman when the Nimrod had its nose bust. It was indeed an MT Warrant Officer who the previous week had charged a poor SAC for scuffing the paint in a reversing incident, while moving a Land Cruiser belonging to some big cheese.
To further add to his sins exactly one week to the day after the Nimrod crunch, he was moving one of our Alberts and used the wrong gear to move off in or somesuch feeble excuse, completely wrecking the towing bracket (the shear bolt didn't).
He went home shortly after.

Sorry Guys, but in his defence,
It was a WO MTD his name is John ..... if I remember correctly. A very nice bloke, who, instead of doing his WO bit and managing,in a nice comfy air con'd office, he was out on the ground putting in 16 hr days. Why? Because there was only 1 other guy on det Q'd to drive the tugs, Not his fault. So he did the usual 'can do' thing we all do and kept the A/C flying. He was obviously v tired/stressed and not perceptive enough to feel the tow bar breaking. According to the inquiry the tow bar was faulty due to incorrect maintenance!
Also, I do not recall him charging anyone in the whole det. I travelled up with him and shared an office until he left??? but I might be proven otherwise.
No, I'm not an MTD by the way.
