A mi, personalmente me suena. Sino es el error específico alemán que condujo a que los ingleses tuviesen una causa por la que bombardear Berlín, es uno de los bombardeos alemanes o uno de los ingleses.
Las neuronas me sacan Coventry, pero como no he confirmado nada, esto es eso, una zambullida sin ni siquiera bañador, solo por animar el cotarro.

USS Midway VA-25's Toilet Bomb

In October 1965, CDR Clarence J. Stoddard, Executive Officer of VA-25 "Fist of the Fleet", flying an A-1H Skyraider, NE/572 "Paper Tiger II" from Carrier Air Wing Two aboard USS Midway carried a special bomb to the North Vietnamese in commemoration of the 6-millionth pound of ordnance dropped. This bomb was unique because of the type... it was a toilet!

The following is an account of this event, courtesy of Clint Johnson, Captain, USNR Ret. Captain Johnson was one of the two VA-25 A-1 Skyraider pilots credited with shooting down a MiG-17 on June 20, 1965.

'I was a pilot in VA-25 on the 1965 Vietnam cruise.

572 was flown by CDR C. W. "Bill" Stoddard. His wingman in 577 (which was my assigned airplane) was LCDR Robin Bacon, who had a wing station mounted movie camera (the only one remaining in the fleet from WWII).

The flight was a Dixie Station strike (South Vietnam) going to the Delta. When they arrived in the target area and CDR Stoddard was reading the ordnance list to the FAC, he ended with "and one code name Sani-flush". The FAC couldn't believe it and joined up to see it. It was dropped in a dive with LCDR Bacon flying tight wing position to film the drop. When it came off, it turned hole to the wind and almost struck his airplane.

It made a great ready room movie. The FAC said that it whistled all the way down.

The toilet was a damaged toilet, which was going to be thrown overboard. One of our plane captains rescued it and the ordnance crew made a rack, tailfins and nose fuse for it. Our checkers maintained a position to block the view of the air boss and the Captain while the aircraft was taxiing forward. Just as it was being shot off we got a 1MC message from the bridge, "What the hell was on 572's right wing?" There were a lot of jokes with air intelligence about germ warfare. I wish that we had saved the movie film.

CDR Stoddard was later killed while flying 572 in Oct 1966. He was hit by three SAMs over Vinh.'

Si no importa pongo una pregunta:

El 6 de septiembre, se produjo una trágica confusión de identificación, en el que resultaron derribados 2 Hurricanes del 56 Escuadron, los que atacaron fueron 3 Spitfires del 74 Escuadron. El piloto que lideraba la formación de ataque fue un famoso piloto, que afirmó durante el consejo de guerra que él no habia dado la orden de ataque, provocandole la enemistad de más de un piloto del escuadrón. ¿Quien era este famoso piloto?
Pista: En el folclore de la RAF este incidente es conocido como la "Batalla de Barking Creek"
