Back in '79, airlifted a stranded 660 Sqn Scout from 6 inches of water. The dear Major had shut down below the HWM (for breakfast with the Ghurkas) and couldn't re-start. When he and his ac were safely back at Sek Kong, he donated our detachment (RN) a crate of beer, later confessing that that particular scout was a notoriously bad starter!
