At the risk of being accused of mover-baiting (
moi?), many moons ago I had delivered the command spare Wessex from Sharjah to the SAR Flt at Muharraq, and had to get an Argosy back (I
told you it was a long time ago!).
Didn't have much more than what I stood up in, ie flying kit including an LSJ (Mae West). Following exchange ensues:
Mover: "What's that" - pointing to LSJ
Fg Off Teeters: "Er, an LSJ"
Mover: "No, no - what's that" - pointing to red knob and gas bottle
Fg Off Teeters: "That's what I pull to inflate LSJ - is CO2 cylinder"
Mover: (Triumphantly): "Aha - compressed gas - DAC (Dangerous Air Cargo) - you can't take that on a passenger flight ......."
Flung LSJ to SAR mate seeing me off ............
