I considered the 'Yellow Bombers' as 'brave pills' on account if I needed them, then I was somewhere I shouldn't be (in terms of personal safety).
Of course the danger barometer always climbed several units when you found yourself co-located with Kate Adey . . .
Fortunately, I was on Timmy then and (get this) was Route Checked into Kuwait airport the day after the EOD teams declared it clear. We also lost a generator just as we hit the smoke clouds from the burning oil wells, it was like a scene from Dante's Inferno and not a nice thing to do to a pretty white aeroplane.
Life must go on . . . mustn't grumble
