MM,
Back when I was a lot younger & with a company long gone we did our fair share of '9mm agricultural machinery', some Govt. to Govt. & some not so kosher.
Then there was 27 ton of grass seedlings with a max 24 hour life. Flying Tigers (Ah a name to remember) bought it out of LAX to LHR & we took it to MCT where there were a few hundred locals with dibbers all ready to get this stuff in the ground!
Same destination for a complete circus, big top, animals, the lot. Due to Southern UK closing in fog for a couple of days, we nearly failed to get it there in time for the Sultans wifes birthday. Local chap was in a fair sweat at the time but just managed in time.
Then there's the 4 rocket firing Land Rovers (legal!) into THR for the Shah just 2 days before he left. Somewhat interesting!
Those were the days!
