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. Dave 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. -- -Gord. (use gordon in email) |
