AC,

Please tell me that happened in the sim

Kilwhang,

Thanks for that, despite being in different times, and no doubt with more risk to life and limb, it's a story that has happened throughout the history of Albert in service with the RAF. My only personal experience was of one A**y M******y, a Flight Engineer, well known, who went through hard times (and a big bike ride) to join our service. I had the pleasure of being his GE on many routes, and, will never forget helping him to deliver whatever could be scrounged from our flight rations to a local orphanage on arrival in Belize. Perhaps like him, Sqn Ldr Andrus was attracted to the Royal Air Force by reputation. I wonder if there are more examples of "foreign input" to the Albert fleet over the years, obviously the Kiwis seem to have a head start, having snatched the Station Commander title from the Brits, and have now captured Fergineer,or was he always "one of them"?
