Did the C17 take much into the affected area when it deployed? they certainly appear to be camera shy at the moment. Seen coverage of an EK charter jet 'flying' the flag for the UK.
I remember arriving in Mexico City on a 'K' back in 85 post mega earth quake, with a shed load of RE's. The door went up, the ramp went down. Stood all expectantly was the BBC's own Brian Baron and camera man. "stop" shouted Brian, as the initial view of the British aid effort was the beer/NAAFI stack on the ramp - for the 'engineers obviously!
Got dissed by the Argentinians when the crew bus driver slowed down as it rolled up in front of their 707 on a very busy ramp - no shocks and they would never have been let on anyway.
Got moaned at by the Holiday Inn management when team GB used the swimming pool as a bath, there being no mains water running, but plenty of shower gel to hand.
An interesting 24 hours that was. I still have the certificate of thanks from El Presidente of Mexico on my wall….
