Unaccustomed to the weight, there was a loud creaking noise before the engine detached from the main spar.

Sharp Whistle Blows.....Stop lads, Down Tools, I have called a strike... until we get parity with our German Aircraft Fitter comrades, they get free beer and Brylcream, and don't take any of that 'Its our duty to help the War Effort crap from Management. '
or
Health and Safety officer does not see anything wrong with this scenario, well there is a War on y'know
or
8th May 1945 and 626 Squadron prepare their aircraft for another 1000 bomber raid on Berlin. However the Sqn Leader does not pass onto the lads that Germany have in fact surrendered the day before. Well he did want to complete the line under the cockpit window...
