I expect their reaction will be the same as mine in 1973.......Somali Embassy chartered our Navajo (and me ) to fly Coke and Fanta concentrate ( whatever turns you on ) to Mog because it was Independence Day anniversary next day , Ambassador himself came to Wilson , told me ' clearance ' number , and off I went . Large committee to meet me , firstly customs and Coke reps , then the Army / Cops who thought my clearance was a joke and arrested me ! Strange that they were all desperate for me to get there and were waiting . 3 days house arrest in hotel before release .
Landed Wilson , told Chief Pilot I would not ever be going back to Somalia thank you very much . The Somali Ambassador had a lot of trouble finding a charter company after that - but there is always someone prepared to sell their soul eh !
Now it is big bucks talking ......the ransom money is mostly being invested in Kenya , hence the lunatic property prices now , changed my retirement plans I can tell you.
