Pullusapint,
Thanks for the contact, I'm signing up!
Skytrucker,
To be strict, I wasn't a driver. Operations, Loadmaster & some time
Station Manager in the sh**ty places of the world. I guess that should give some clues to my identity!!
CR2,
THe name you edited out was actually a very famous circus at the time.
Dunno if it's still going but was certainly a household name at the
time &, bearing in mind the 'fun' we had with a freight shed full
of elephants, lions & horses for 3 days until we finally got them away,
I wouldn't have thought they would object to being named. However,
that's why you're the moderator.
Still come across the odd bod from those days. I still play at loadie
on the odd occasion & did a trip to the Middle East a couple of
years ago & found an F/E from the old days flying the panel.
We worked out that last time that combination was airborne was 20 years
previously in deepest darkest!
Had a few, very enjoyable, beers after landing!
