Work related Accident
My mate just sent me some pictures through that are used for training in the RAF of what not to do. This accident though was mine and to make it worse
it was my first day as a new Corporal.

I'm not sure who was most shocked. The fellow in the van behind, as one of the cases flew past his window or me as I heard the bang and watched
the trailer bunny hop behind me. Note the missing primer cap on the round on the right. A 2/3 day hunt across the bottom of the airfield with metal
detectors as well to find that. It never came to light. I like to think it gave one of the magpies a shock 
The heads of the rounds didn't travel so far but the cases did and I had to close the whole Northbound runway

Kinda. It got put on my permanent record though. I wonder if its the same record that follows you from primary school? Hmmm? I remember you were only
allowed to view your record on one day of the year which you had to give notice for and the date was never publicised. That was their attempt at
freedom of information

oops 
oh well so long as no one was hurt, I'm sure you weren't the only one to learn a lesson that day and I doubt you'll make the same
mistake again.

Too right. I packed the job in nearly 2 tears ago. Bad pay, bad treatment, just not fun any more and they were clamping down on drinking sessions

Confused but excited.

Could have been worse.
At least it wasn't a bucket of instant sunshine.
Now that would have looked bad on your record.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
