Oldlae;
Many thanks, God how this aging plays terrible havoc with good memories. Really enjoyed those years at Bristow, especially in Egypt until the illustrious Don French fired my ass.
Was replacing a swashplate drive collar on one of the 205s we operated in Egypt and replacing it with one of the new split collar types. Used a standard practice from Canada at the time of securing and cutting the old collar off to save having to lift the head assy but one of the pilots thought I was butchering his helicopter and ratted to pouffy Ken boy who could hardly wait to get up Dons ass.
Great times and great people.
