Embarrassment at it's best ......

[Gunship]

Damn ... so embarrassed I have not been in a very long time ... yes Tony S ... very ...

We received a gift from a certain country last year ( A VIP SeaKing Commando). It was standing for a long time .. we got Tony S who previously flew it to give us a conversion and after lots of initial gremlins she flew and she is a beauty.

The big boss though prefered a civilian Mi - 8 with sail seats as ... uhmmm let's leave that part.

Anyway today he said is his day he is flying in his new toy ... and what happened ... # 2 engine did not want to start ... no damn ignitors

So highly the civilain Mi - 8 landed next to us and took the boss away ...

But it did not end their ... the tail was hanging over the sea side of the port and a massive Grimaldi Liner could not "park" - he had to wait another 2 hours for us with all his heavy duty vehicles and cranes waiting in constipation around us ...

So we waited for spares to be delivered by bakkie, put in the new "black box" and voila off we went ... just to land in bad moods at work !

Eischh what a damn embarressing day was had by 3 crew members ... third damn black box in 25 hours ! ! !

What a day (and it was such a pure blue beautiful day after severe storms and the start of our rainy season ...
