Kommentarer
1. Tord's vän Gert-Börje havererar ett stridsflygplan - "Han valde att styra sin JA:a rakt in i en hangar där ett par gossar ur ”begåvningsreserven” som bäst höll på att sopa golvet. Det blev förstås ett våldsamt haveri och man fann rester av de värnpliktiga utspridda över hela flygflottiljen.
Man hittade under flera veckor efter haveriet kroppsdelar på allsköns platser, bland annat bakom mässen där en näsa med ett finger i låg och skräpade. Troligtvis hade en utav de förolyckade pojkarna pillat sig i näsan när olyckan inträffade. Eller pillat med sitt finger i någon annans näsa? Det blev nog aldrig helt klarlagt det där då man på den tiden saknade den forensiska kompetens man har idag för att fastställa identitet på vilsekomna kroppsdelar."
