We flew back into NEMA Yesterday at 02.30 local.
What an experience. I am NoseyParkers partner ( thanks Dear, sorry I couldn't arrange the proposal!!) .
The reason tha we didn't come back to MAN was that they became insreasingly unhelpfull as our departure got more and more delayed. Appears that they wanted the publicity of it landing there, but quickly got bored with it!!
Yes, we did get the stage built in time ( I had a 42 hour day following our departure. The start of the gig was delayed by the Diva like attitude of one of the stars. The whole of Nigeria is based on back handers, and our departure at both ends was all due to monies being promised but not being deliverd.
It's one hell of an experience, and I've got loads of photo's. I will be looking at the YouTube video shortly, as I oddly, couldn't see the take off!

Big Thanks To Bob the Flight Manager, (Phil) CharterMan, and all of the crew. Also to MAnchester Handling, particularly Julian.
Didn't realise tah it was such a coup for them.
Cheers
Cerdo
