According to his presentation; he was more than a little upset when he
observed the "Britannia" opening its weapons-bay doors and did not seem
to feel it was 'cricket' to deem his vessel destroyed while he was in
the process of preparing to rescue passengers from a civilian aircraft.

Good one Dave, while I've been on several JASS courses I hadn't
heard that one!...reminds me of a story about some crusty old
German mine layer skipper during the war who would mine some
harbour in England every night and the next day the Brits would
sweep it clean.

This went on for several days until one smart Brit commander
decided to try something, he ordered no sweep one day and the
German got sunk with one of his own mines that night.

He was rescued and said that he thought it was a pretty
underhanded dirty trick by the Brits.
