800 holes and all that.

I don't know why people bothered. I always brought my 200 cigs in on the nav board for everybody to see. Never had a problem, Aberdeen or Sumburgh.

When I was on the S76 in the beginning, single pilot in summer, I would break the carton and and tuck five packs into each flying suit trouser pocket. Over time a hole had worn in one of them. I was walking back to the line office at Aberdeen when the old lady customs officer who was regularly on site called me over to tell me I was losing my cigarettes. I looked behind and there was this trail of Benson & Hedges across the pan. I thanked her, picked them up and carried on.
