Best one I saw, and it was a Kipper Mate Nav....

Weekend up to Kef from ISK in a Mk2, prior to departure Tac Nav approached me, the Chiefy,

Chief I,m buying this all singing dancing Hi Fi kit from the BX in Kef we need some storage space on the jet OK (meaning don,t let the lads take up the back end with beer)

Sure enough, great weekend had by all (is it the Volcano Club at Kef memory dulls over time) and come Monday morning said Nav pitches up with 10 large crates, biggest of which was about the size of the Nimrod bog.

Loaded the toy....Its truly amazing what you can fit in a Bog, down the isles, front door and galley.

We get back to ISK, duty Customs Man meets us (days before the RAFP) clears the groundies toute sweet as ever.

It took the Nav an hour and about £300 in duty to get his toy off, moral of the tail, talk to the customs chappy BEFORE you leave home base to see if you can do a deal.

Officers (and it was bloke too) DOH
