Come on guys lighten up! There is nothing better than being involved in this kind of thing. I remember sitting round a pool in Lilongwe when a lady from the Embassy came rushing down asking for the Herc crew. There had been a terrible train crash in Malawi and we were asked to help out. We did try and contact the UK??!! Involved flying into a grass strip near Lake Malawi to pick up the "boys" They sorted the wounded and we evacuated the injured to South Africa. The Lear Jet cleared our way, we had no dip clear and some had no passports. It ranks as the best thing I ever did. Funny thing is HQ thought we had gone to SA on a jolly!
