On a trip to Butterworth, the crew, (47 I think), bartered for and got a rickshaw off a street trader! Not only did they pay for it up front, (dodgy), but convinced the poor guy to bring it out to the airfield on our departure day

The poor guy cycled all the way from Georgetown to the airfield, (an hour or so), and was waiting for us when we arrived at the gate. He then walked back to town well chuffed with himself for his days work. Can't remember how much they paid but he could have built a few more with the money. (They are quite a feat of imaginative engineering when you look closely at them).
