Wish I could find the picture of the BDR job we did to a Nimmy in Ascension Island back in 96(?) when we got delayed on a Tonka swap. Crew decided they were going to lose currency so flew some staff around for an hour or three, ending in a low level pass over the airfield then turned over Frigate Island, hope hum - many (big) bird strikes (suprise, suprise!) After lots of expanding foam, speed tape, metal bashing & burning of midnight oil while the crew worked out a fuel plan for the long trip home BWOS refused the repair so we abandoned it on the pan & hitched a ride home courtesy of Timmy Airways.
