'Tigger'
When we moved from the airstrip accommodation into the Esa Akpan compound 'Tigger' picked up the transport schedule very quickly. As Crew No.1 one day it was my turn to drive the rest of the pilots to the airstrip in the minibus. As I climbed-in in the low morning light I noticed a distinct dog smell, only to find 'Tigger' had been left in the back overnight. Opened the sliding door to let him out, he did his 'business' then climbed back in to start the morning shift at the airstrip! Priceless!
When he was finally put down after a bad illness he was given the dignity of a burial at sea from one of the unmanned platforms so that he did not end up on the menu of the local 'roadkill' - roadside restaurant signs displayed '504 is ready' if I recall correctly.
