I was once approached at Incirlik by a Spam LTC who was looking for a trip to Mildenhall.

The Movers were unable to help as they didn't really deal with tankers and it would have confused the heck out of Upavon's truckie system anyway. So, ever keen to help an ally, I rang Starfleet on what was then a very rare animal, my personal GSM phone. The man said yes, so welcome aboard the mighty brown FunBus, Colonel.

But what really peeved me was that the miserable sod never even said thankyou. Ah well, I suppose it takes all types.....
