That's a great collection Mr Mac
Talking of Dad's, one daylight that I had on VS from CPT-LHR, I decided to spend money on the Satphone service and it worked very well. I called my father when crossing the Sahara. I reminded him about his experiences of navigating from England to Cairo in WWII, when their map only gave 'Camel Track First Grade' and 'Camel Track Second Grade' as routes to follow. Looking out for camel tracks was not easy as the sand does tend to move ...! But they got there. He was so thrilled to think of me comfy in the cruise, being able to phone him in his retirement.
