Mmmmmm

Don’t remember this one.



Got to get a dig in here guys.

One very early take off, on a very cold January morning.
A two stopper.
17C

4 pallets to Bodo and some very rough looking gentlemen to Bergen.

Now when I last looked at the map, Bodo is quite a long way from Bergen.

Albert lands at Bergen. Engines running offload. The very rough looking gentlemen make their way out the crew door, and our team saunter down to the ramp and un-net the bags, and toss them off (if you pardon the expression) and close up.

Quick trip up the stairs for a brew and back down and strap in.

Loadie gets back in, shuts the crew door, propeller pitch rises a bit, brakes off
And Whoa! Every pallet slides backwards towards the ramp!

It transpired, that while we were getting the bags off, he forgot himself and had walked round and un locked every spigot ready for the offload!

Just the one airfield early then.
