Just wondering how `Ascot Ops` are working out a `plot` to airlift 4000 refugees out of Sudan...Should use a bit of `hub and spoke tactical thinking` using the minimum of 3 Hercs/6-7 crews,round trips from KTM to AbuSimbel(EGYPT),refuel for `roundtrip`each time at A-S only,pax on ,engines running,off you go,4hrs ,round trip.2 round-trips/crew,until all collected...!
Pax at A-S can be loaded onto A400 to Cyprus if not used on the KTM ..or maybe even use a `Voyager`for that...!!
Should all be done in 4 days...
Alternatively ,suggest they take all the X-Channel immigrant dinghies from Dover,drop them in KTM WITH INSTRUCTIONS to sail `downriver` as far as they can`..See you in Port Said...
