– not least the amazing story of the Pumas when they were evacuated to Mexico when ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Greta – but that is a story in its own right!
Hurricane Greta could throw up quite a few stories: The Puma fuel payment problem in Mexico, rumours of the Harrier overflight of Cuba on its way to Key West, additional wives being found when evacuating families from Belize City, Padre and wives getting legless in their shelter, the crew of the first VC 10 in after Greta getting a bit annoyed that there was no HOTAC available.
Notice that Henry de Courcier (ex Reds) is credited with the pic. Was on a flight from Manila to HK about 8 or 9 years ago with him at the controls.
