Not so concerning but not nice - many moons ago the beloved Fleet manager of the DanAir 737 fleet was happily cruising at FLxxx when a huge quantity of maggots fell on his head from the overhead panel where they had been luxuriously feeding on a dead mouse. As you can well imagine, there was widespread sympathy for him on the fleet......

Not an easy job in which to be 'popular'.

Early VC-10 days, one " well known character" leaving Prestwick for Manchester so very light, performed a full power take-off and reached some normally unattainable great height over the departure threshold and said to ATC ... " Did you see that Prestwick, that's superior British engineering and Rolls Royce power for you. " A languid American voice on finals behind him said " There's one in every outfit "

A friend and his wife were living in Australia for two years when he had an exchange with the RAN at RANAS Nowra. His wife was driving to the shops just after they arrived and out of the corner of her eye she saw a large hairy critter's leg slowly emerging from behind the sun visor. She screeched to a halt right outside the gate at Nowra and jumped from the car in an agitated state. The guard on the gate came over to ask what the problem was and she gabbled that there was something behind the sun visor. Oh, that's just a huntsman he said, brushing the huge spider out with his cap.
