Being told (seriously!) by the Chief Engineer, as he nervously re-adjusts his vast white turban, " I am zo zorry ve buggad up your Hot End, I vill bersonally vix it vor you, and I von't let vun of dose dam darkies dutch it!"
Sati, thank you. One of the best engineers I ever knew. God bless!
And my other favourite engineer a few yards down the flight line...
"Gladstone, sorry, but can you fix this?" (always at short notice)
(always with a smile) "OK!"
And he always did. God bless you too, Glad.
I loved my time in Africa. In 1800hrs I never paid chai, never broke down, and never had complaint against maintenance.
