Old Farang,
Well, if you were on the fuel supply to Browse then maybe you were there when we tried for the world Wessex record of empty drums into a net?! ISTR we squeezed 30 or so into the net but couldn't manage any more due to the net size, if only we'd had digital cameras in those days!
I was with another driver and we spelled each other driving/crewing, I was in the cabin when he dropped the only long strop that we had into the oggin alongside the supply boat. End of exercise, home early to Broome!
I can't recall the Anglo Indian drivers name, it may be in my logbook back in Melbourne so I'll check when I'm home.
Were you there when I refused a drunken pax off the Perth red-eye, he couldn't even walk to the Wessex across the tarmac? I was severely castigated at the end of the day by Mayne-Bristow manager back in Perth for daring to do such a thing, no doubt I'd have been severely castigated if the drunk had decided to open the door and fall out somewhere across the Arethusa Sea!
