When a lad (1970 ish) I (or anyone else interested) was offered what was then a kings ransom per month into a Swiss bank account plus another princes ransom walking around money to fly (command yet) DC6-7/Constellations for a big time relief agency into one of the more unfriendly and inhospitable parts of Africa. Pretty atttactive for a 20 something when airlines were closed for the foreseeable future and it was for a very worthy cause and I probably should have done it for free for that reason alone. But it wasn't my fight and they weren't paying for my skills ??, there were thousands of pilots more qualified than I.

I hope you are not asking us to believe the great Hank Warton wanted you to fly his Constellation into Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War (in 1968 actually).

From what I understand only He, flew "the Old Gray (sic) Ghost".

From your CV's to various Bodies, you were licenced in 1962. Some rise to fame on your part I may say.
