They may be referring to the damage done to your Dunny, mate.

As in 'Sorry mate, I've Cat 5'd your Dunny!'

The Aircrew Dictionary can often help in these cases

I notice Cat 5 seems to be missing as an entry on it's own but is covered under "Black" I'm sure it was there in the original printed version that went round the crewroom...

'Sorry mate, I've Cat 5'd your Dunny!

Got in just before me, minigundiplomat! You sound like you might be from this hemisphere, eh?

Damage Cats

It,s a long time since I left but I did spend time as a maintenace test pilot

As I recall the damge cats were, in plain language; repairable

1 on the line ie a burst tyre
2 on the squadron ie an engine change
3 on station by a contractors ie engine fire with airframe damage
4 not worth repairing but some bits might be worth keeping

5 collect the bits, remove human remains, dispose of the rest
