Also happened to me... Just left the subpen, then the bombs started falling around me..Bernard (on watch duty) had his new target cap on, that his old aunt Brünhilda in Bremen had sent him for his birthday.
(Here's a pic of her from the birthday-party

(And yes, that's NOT a candle, it's a stick of dynamite.. )

Bernards cap with the big red target on top made the brit's bomb run an easy task... So, my steel cigar and all hands went to the bottom...

Quoting Bernard Murphy's law;
"...if anything can go wrong, it will, and it will be my fault, no doubt..."
