We left Nairobi after ,for me at least, a quiet night stop. We presented the Minister with a detachment tee shirt and she astounded and impressed all of us by promptly wearing it.

My view of politicians had taken a severe knock. After an offload at Baidoa we flew to Mogadishu for a prolonged stop whilst the minister had discussions with the relief staff. Then on to Djibouti for a night stop. Why we went there I have no idea but as suspected the French were in evidence as I saw a C160 parked up. The VIP party was whisked away but it took us over three hours to fight our way through the system and by the time we got to the hotel it was late with an early start scheduled for the next day.

The lady herself getting a flying lesson from the captain.
