Smuj,
Also recall an empty aircraft all the way to Nairobi, on departure from RAF Butlins, where the second loadie ( Gibbo bless him) somewhat socially confused after our evening meal crashed in his hammock on the ramp. Roll of lashing tape tied to rear of hammock ,unrolled and end handed to skipper , Gibbo duly ends up nose first on ramp, furious 2nd ALM pointed in direction of end of tape and captain totally bemused. Fun times indeed!
