The prisoner had his back to it, but I was facing it. We both jumped to be fair, but in kicking in the door, Bill had actually kicked in the whole door frame. He managed to catch it before it fell to the ground and then while he was shouting at the prisoner, I sidled round and helped with the door. We managed to more or less jam it back into position while the interrogation continued. Both Bill and I were trying hard not to laugh and we had to stay behind the prisoner for a while so he could not see us.

As a CSRO I found that it was and put out a memo to see if anyone was interested and in the end 4 of us went. The reason for going into the water was that it was the landing that hurt people, assuming that the parachute opened, but
