Re 'EXG'...... Capt John Edwards was 'based at Kal for a period of a coupla months or so, early 80's, doing his surveys.
On one engine start one fine morning, there was a resounding 'THWAK' from the No 1 Engine just after 'start'.
Thankfully, John called on the radio with a 'simple request'......The prop wash had removed his cap when he opened the side window and leaned out to clean the windscreen,,,,,,
Thankfully there was no 'tissue' inside it.....and YEP...He did ask that we pick up his cap as it was his favorite...!
More like his 'favorite' favorite after that.....
Hope you're reading this John.
ALL the BEST!
