With a tear in my eye i recall.
Those mailruns are legend around the company i work at in the States. Guys/gals cannot fathom the joy of banging round the NT in some of the highest time 210s in the Southern Hemisphere... seems to remember why we had to fill oil from a drum in the hangar (we burnt soo much it was cheaper to by a drum!).
I still recall the negotiations with the various clinics to get their 'patients' to shower before a charter flight!
Good times.
So where are you now Jackthelad?
