I had the "privilege" of leading a convoy from Shawbury to Wildenrath. It took three days and the Landdrover I was given was totally unsafe in that the steering wheel had almost half a turn of free play.

Thankfully they gave me a Gazelle to play with on arrival and I had a highly enjoyable time based back at my old stomping ground based at Gutersloh. Single crew... Air Control Order of not above 150 feet agl... Licensed hooliganism luxury and no-one to answer to.
