Nearly forgot the most important bit....
d) continued...and at this time, India and Pakistan are threatening to go to war. Well known and published analysis states that any war will involve India destroying Pakistans main port, that is, a first strike, possibly nuclear, on KARACHI. And another thing, (more importantly) the Army that are running the place only allow the self run bar to be open for a couple of hours in the evening. Seeing as you take off at dusk, every night, you are unable to enjoy a relaxing beer, made all the worse as you brought the bonded store over in the first place.
Correction to previous post - The Greeks stopped flying because the Belgians got shot at.
Yes Mr Hinechap, bad, bad times, but a month or so before we had a spot of luck. Not sure if it works as a multi-choice but here goes.
India and Pakistan are threatening nuclear war and you need to be able to evacuate British Nationals and Embassy staff at short notice. You have some Hercs operating in a third country nearby. Do you...
a) Inform the taskers that you may need to be on standby for short notice work over the other side of the Indian Ocean
b) Request diplomatic permission to base a couple of extra Hercs over the previously agreed amount on detachment to cater for this
c) Jump the gun and try to sneak in a couple of extra Hercs without anyone noticing, but get found out by the authorities who tell you to get them out the country. Your easiest way out of this muddle is to send two Hercs at short notice....to the Seychelles!!! In a 5 star holiday resort while everone else is in tents in the desert or getting shot at. What a cock up. (But a nice one)
