Not really, it’s amazing what Google will find;)
Must have been a little worrying at the time.
I hadn’t heard of this incident before so did a little searching to find out more.

wow, what a memory, sounds like you were there, or very nearby.
Hey B-17 Man, good to hear from you.
Could be!
Carpetbagger has pulled an old thread and so has thrown a little more light on this!!!
It never ceases to amaze me that someone has the time and the nounce to go through pertinent old threads, that others of us forget had been composed in the first place and are able to pick out the info?? amazing!!!!!

I think you’ll find Bomberboy was a bit too close. See this thread http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=34240&page=4
