I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

BPE, I am reminded of the Dennis Hedley take on such stats. If someone asks the question they don't know the answer. As they don't know the answer they won't know if you make the my numbers up.

At ASI there was a request to know tonnage and pax numbers carried to FI by the air bridge. The movers had a 6 month gap and asked us in Ops of we had the figures. I gave them some realistic figures and they departed happy and sent them to Northwood. They went white when I told them however I had guessed what they were for.

it was for Hesletine to thank the Air Bridge crews with the start of T* services to MPA. All he need was X thousand troops and Y hundred tins of freight.
