Good Old Africa

In keeping with the 'I love Nigeria stories", 1979 parked at Kaduna facing I think north with short taxi to line up for the short hop to Kano.
In front, about 30mtrs at the hold a B732 wet lease Nigeria Airways thru PARC awaiting line up.............Out of periferral vision appears Nigerian business man, brief case in hand pushing an Airstair which he procedes to align with the L2 door. Mounting the stair he proceeds to the door just as Nigeria airways is given line up clearance.
Remember his stairway to freedom is between the wing and the tailplane with "Line up given".
It took awhile even for the Paddys to believe my intervention.......then a Hostie face at the L/H overwing for confirm followed by Police.
The Girt Bar would have sorted him out.

Ye Bo.
