Hi MM,

Agricultural Gear eh?

I am afraid that happened to me several years now.

Out of the blue in Africa! I was told crates of tractor parts, who am I to go and prize the bloody crates open?

The manifest stated machine parts!!.

What it had omitted was the second word Machine GUN Parts, all together a hefty 40 tonnes of weapons of war including AK47s, Uniforms and shoulder launched anti-aircraft units!!

What a quick turnaround.... we returned empty!

You can do nothing else but trust the manifest sometimes, makes you wonder just what some people actually carry without knowing it!

Should have realised of course it was Angola!!!
