I second that!

I was amused to get a request from Nabiel for another RAF Pilot's logbook. He had filled up Number Whatever and wanted one more to log his time in his new toy, the Boeing 737. No using any manky old logbook for Nabiel; he has standards!

After class finished at London Met I went Underground on a secret mission, all the way to Victoria Station and then down rainy London streets to first, Trans-Air to buy the book and then back Underground to Oxford Street and a Fed-Ex office on one of its side streets to flash it off to Lagos.

As I recall, it cost far more to send the logbook than it cost to buy it, but never mind. It was worth the trip to keep Nabiel happy, since he is one of the Good Guys.

I look forward to visiting Canada to see him ensconced as some sort of gentleman farmer in a long, happy retirement. Well, I give that about six months before he is back to someplace hot and nasty to do what he does best. Either way, all the best!
