I was invited by a chum on a Beverley afternoon sortie out of Nairobi, for a low level cruise around the game parks, back in the 60's. All went well and I was enjoying the views from the throne like jump seat, when it was decided to carry out a low level attack on a herd of eliphants.After the first pass a lone bull remained trumpeting at the 'intruder'. On the third pass with the bull still rooted in position and waving its trunk, the flight engineer surmised aloud that clearly the bull was anticipating mating!

The resulting explosion of mirth may well have been our last, however, fortunately my chum remembered to pull out of the 'attack'!
