Fareastdriver,
So now we have Gibbons to add to the list (kraits, puff adders and mud-crabs eic) of Things I'd Rather Not Have in the Cockpit/Flight Deck with Me.
I know nothing of Gibbons, but have read that an adult chimpanzee is five times stronger than a man. Supposing that Gibbons to be of similar size and capability, you were lucky to have a young one !
What did your Gurkha want it for ? I would think they had them at home, so it wouldn't be a novelty. Perhaps the Indonesian variety tasted better
(perish the thought !)
Danny.
