Thanks for the correction - afraid I had to dash off to the Caribbean at that time to suppress Secession by one of our Colonies. Well, somebody had to do it - and the landing strips weren't long enough for Fast Jets!!

It was on my second Detatchment there that I was asked the most stupid question I have ever been asked. Having just staggered off the back end of a Hercules after a 12 hr Atlantic crossing, a Sqn Ldr came up to us and said "Are you the crew that's come to do the Tour of the Caribbean? "

Well, what would your answer be?

PS The Itinerary

Antigua - Barbados - St Vincent - Dominica - Antigua - Dominica - St Lucia - Trinidad - Grenada - Guyana - Trinidad - Guyana - St Vincent - Barbados - St Lucia - Antigua - St Kitts - Antigua.

The VIP ( Deputy Foreign Secretary) invited the entire crew to the House of Lords for Lunch as a "Thank You".
