Beagle #7058,

Clothing is a regular occurance for Ascot Airways. I remember a handling agent who collected "off cuts" of lashing tape at Dakar over the Falklands and subsequent re supply trips. No surprise then that after a few months his wife had unpicked the lashing tape and converted it in to a suit that looked both cool, yet indestructible (why does Alec Guinness come to mind). It never surprised me how people around the planet can make use of what we regard as waste. I'm sure someone benefitted from the ALMs clothing donation, a shame it may have been muggers though.
