Really good stories. Those fly boys don't know the half of it!
Mind you a Brit. Captain, Taff Williams, offered us 48 cans of Tiger if we'd start work on an engine change at Changi, as soon as we'd landed on a VC10.
Worked through the night, he was off back to Blighty by 09.00. Took 4 days before we were offered a flight back on VC10!
Bugis street was, as ever, good fun though!
Yes ian16th, would do (most) of it all over again
