Any ex UK Forces BA/Virgin crew in JNB around end March? I have a couple of bits and bobs (X-type harnesses and other memorabilia) that need to go to the UK to be auctioned for a serviceman's charity. In return I'll drag yez down to a local brewery near JNB and fill your pint pot with real ale.

Anyone.....?

"Did you pack your case your self? Are you carrying anything for any one else?" :eek:

Don't panic. Easy enough to pack the harnesses in a clear bag and leave it open for inspection should that be required.:ok:

You could give it to SAA crew.

Rather not do that. I've heard that powder is quite corrosive and getting it all over a collectible is not good for it. Besides, it would take too long to get it back from the Old Bill and they'd probably get sticky doughnut handprints all over it.:}

Seriously,I think SAA flight deck crew is a little gun shy at the moment so probably not worth the bother. Never fear, it's possible the RN has once again saved the day...:ok:
