Once had to ferry a Puma single engine from Caye Chapel, Belize back to Airport camp. Of course, we needed to get the AOC's permission to do it. But that was very easy as he was one of those marooned on the island.
It never officially came out in the wash but every RAF pilot, SH and Harrier, was at the barbeque on the island so everyone was stuck there. The Bona mates (all of them) had arrived at the party by speedboat but the steering gear broke as they tried to leave and the boat would only go round in circles. They were authorised for a lift back in the Puma but then one of the engines wouldn't start....
We came back in the dark with a two engined one and everyone got home eventually.
