Back in the days of the ol' CL44 we did things like -

20T of special grass (green stuff, not THAT grass!). Flown from California with a Tigers 74 into LHR, trucked to STN & then flown to MCT. Had to be in the ground within 24 hours of pick-up so the Sultan of MCT had a bunch of locals with dibbers in hand awaiting our arrival;

Also into MCT, a complete circus but I've told that one before so won't get boring;

4T rhino HKG to MST;

Won't even go near the 9mm carpet slippers & the 7.6mm agricultural machinery although did do 4 rocket launching Landrovers into THR 2 days before the Shah left!

(Goes misty eyed - nostalgia 'ain't what it used to be)
