NEO,

News for you....Chuks did not fit in the first dozen times he was in Nigeria!

His mangling of the German language certainly led to his early departure on at least one occasion that we know of (or perhaps a weak appreciation of what it takes to be a Test Pilot).

So long as the bar tender pours a full measure....Chuks would still survive in good shape as we all know his preference for perching in the BRC Bar compared to dining in the exclusive Plank W@nkers Bistro.

Low Level to a Plank driver is anytime they are using a non-standard altimeter setting such as QNH....that our Chuks fails to mention.

We helicopter pilots...much maligned by the BRC Plank community....know what low level is. One might suggest that upon hopping over the trees at the River across from the Warri IA...and thence picking up the old survey line that runs to Forcardos....as being low level. It sure was more dependable than the instrumentation in the old 212's were it not?

All that being said....I would love to be a bug on the wall....amongst the thousands....to see the scene when the added injury of having to pay 150 Naira for a cup of Nescafe wounded Chuks. I bet you would hear the whining clear to Cameroon!
