Remember MM standing in front of the dove whilst you sorted yourself out giving a pax brief to a dozen non speaking Japs inc life jackets etc & all, getting the courage up to once again defy death all the time MM was waving frantically to get going, no air pressure 'till you where just reaching the holding point & if you didn't have enough you trailed a leg or two for a little while praying like hell that those 800 gee gees didn't quit!!! Charactor building, shame there wasn't any wealth building in it.
Vh-STP the old Sneca 11 another piece of junk, the things we flew to gain a few miserbale twin hrs:-)
And the final laugh MM recycled the cheap champers back into the bottle for the next flight 2moro!
