I boarded the wrong plane in Munich, the day after the Gulf War started in 1991. I was supposed to be heading to LHR but as me and my colleague went out to the tarmac to board our plane, we got on the FRA bound plane instead. After a short spell with some irate Germans on the FRA bound plane, who complained we'd taken their seat, and a couple of security guards with automatic weapons (it was the day after the Gulf War started remember) we got on our LHR bound flight entirely embarrassed.

thought i'd share
