Re: Urinating in a fighter
Hi guys,
May I quote (via Plt Off Jim Cranstone RNZAF) from my 'Buffaloes over Singapore': "Mowbray Garden (flight commander of 243 Squadron on Buffaloes) just couldn't keep still. I remember he wanted to urinate fairly often when he was flying. They had relief tubes in the Buffaloes and the groundcrew got a little browned off with having to flush his relief tube out, so they turned the venturi round (a venturi, in short, accentuates or concentrates a volume of air through vacuum) so anything that was introduced near its point of entry was sucked in with violence. I think Mowbray was hospitalised for a day or two." I have an account of how a Blenheim air gunner managed to do a 'number two' in his aircraft - but that's another story! Cheers Brian
