I recall going into Assab one day carrying 3 nuns on the way to Makele, carried the ladies on the flight deck to keep them away from the locals down the back. Captain decides to do Khe Sahn and invites the head nun to stand behind him for the landing. After briefing said lady on what was about to happen Albert pitches nose down, with an unusual view of the sea one side and desert the other. Unpleasant odour on flight deck with all on intercom denying it was them. On landing head nun seen disappearing rapidly towards the hangar with the only toilet, claiming to be a little ill. Yet another quality day on Albert.
