Hi Gordy, Great to hear that you had a Citroen Ami 8. I had my Dyane shipped
CCU/SYD, then two years later W/O in SYD when a drug enhanced Lebanese
driven Holden and a red light on George St. I was thrown out and hit the ground
30 feet away. Luckily, I had been skydiving, and rolled up as I was flying through
the air before impact with the asphalt resulting in minor injuries. The Dyane had
a strong chassis, with saved me from more serious injury.
I saw a previous thread you had written, and mentioned your working also for HV.
Recently read a Dutch newspaper article re an HV Flt. Eindhoven to Portugal when
the cpt. diverted due pax violence on board. Cpt. requested "Assistance to be given
to his flight attendants by member of Fire Service, Police Force, Military, or Security
Force" This was the very same address I heard when O/B Flt JNB/FRA. In my case
the Cpt. was assisted by two "Rugby players" who, after the Cpt's command "Bring
him down, Bring his down now" the Cpt. trust a hypodermic needle in the buttock of
the offending pax. Immediate effect, the guy was lifeless. The Cpt then requested a
Doctor. The four of them helped to drag the unconscious pax through the cabin, to
secure in a crew container at the rear of the B747.
Gordo, Did you have a "Set Piece" to announce requesting assistance in such cases?
and was it taught by all carriers ?
I also read that THR embassy Parsons went on to serve as the British spokesman at
the U.N. during the Falklands war.
