Also as a kid, I recall Dad taking his beloved classic aircrew watch in for regulation and being aghast that he was presented with a shiny new one (a nasty, value-engineered shadow of the original that soon packed up), whilst the storeman took his old watch to one side and pounded it to fragments with a hammer. When he questioned this, a policy document was produced where it was stated that "witnessed destruction" was the way of things. Supposedly, this was to prevent "back door" leakage but he wondered how much it was to do with concerns as outlined in post 37.
