I smell a conspiracy here ….

student pilot forgot they had placed unwrapped teacakes above their instrument panels.

When the captain pulled an emergency depressurising switch the iconic Scottish treat erupted - leaving a sticky mess over the airmen, the instruments and cockpit canopy.

If candy melted in the sun when left above the instrument panel, you’re an idiot who might get fired for damaging the aircraft

But if you can claim it exploded through no fault of your own, youre off the hook
