I might have got the Bongo story a little wrong (the pax identity only) because it happened a decade or two before I got there....just a funny story from the PX folklore.....the rest of it either happened to me or good mates of mine.
I thought that I always had the individual's interests at heart, providing a golden handshake as they departed.
A largish number of ex PX pilots hold a different view....it's no use trying too rewrite history....there were to many witnesses.
I started to write a post of truly Mountain Man proportions...but then changed my mind...it just is not worth it and not in the spirit of this thread...and for the same reason removed my previous post.
I look forward to reading your latest effort as a fiction writer
