Very professional Captain
Whilst serving with 48Sqn Changi we had an East African jolly, oops, I mean Trainer. The schedule took us to Gan, Mombasa, Nairobi, Mauritius, Majunga and back to Gan and Changi.
Upon arrival at Mauritius,for a night stop, we received a signal that all Alberts were grounded until the bolts (or pins) securing the flight deck escape hatch were replaced with new bolts of a certain specification. Great we thought that will take a day or two to get replacements to us and loads of time to enjoy the delights of Mauritius. Wrong! our captain, one Pete Burrage, said ' there's a RN dockyard here. I'll give them a ring and see if the have the required spec steel and ask them to turn a bolt or two for us'. Sure enough they had, they were fitted, and we were away on schedule the next day. Pete is a real gentleman and a very good pilot but it was frustrating.
