But ya wanna know what REALLY pissed The Frog off?
Some months later he gave himself a double engine failure taking off from Tapini in his Islander...on tip tanks
and DCA grounded him for some time...maybe a month or two....pax report from memory.
He was absolutely spluttering with rage...."But you deed not ground Shuck for dese forced landing on der road????"
"That's because Chuck's a good bloke who learnt from it...you're a moron!!!" (quote from feeney but probably embellished with white wine
) And as they suspected it wasn't THAT much later he rolled an Islander up in a ball at Kamalai...but walked away unscathed
Ahh the good old days
And we didn't put hardly a scratch on his 185....not compared to arriving on the road upside down...and to this day I can't work out why we didn't
And Oseah Philimon got about 1/2 the blurb right.
