heh Biggles99, I was in Botswana, Francistown airport with a dodgy battery in a 407, scratching my head where I was going to get a boost.

A chat with the nice commander of the BDF (Botswana Defence Force) and the loan of a battery from an Islander and some jump cables, a piece of wood to separate the crocodile clips and Bob's your uncle.

I think they had a good story to tell as well

Perhaps this could be a start of a new thread... "Strange jumper cable stories and those who helped you out"

Joel, glad to hear it worked out for you.
