Depends what responsibilities you have and if it is legal. If you are free to follow any path you choose and if taking the risk gets what you really want - the answer would be yes. Best of luck mate. You might need it!

Yep 
We only live once!
The ludicrous demands made on wannabes by the Ryanairs and MyTravels of this world as brought aid related ops into focus, the more me and the missus discuss it, the more we are talking our selves into it. Although not multi-crew, the Mission Aviation Fellowship would be the sort of thing I would want to be involved in, I don't have the basic core experience at this time, and I'm not a practicing Christian - my wife is, but I don't think that counts. Certainly more fulfilling that bucket and spade brigade airborne charabanc.

If some risk-averse civil servant in the FCO advises against travel somewhere, I reckon that's like reason enough in itself to go there!

Three suicide bombings in the last two years, bordering an active conflict zone.
Westerners could be a hostage target in this area.
Prefer to avoid giving too many details as this is not a confirmed offer, but looks as though it could lead to something if I choose to pursue it further.

Good point LST, however I think these were separate events, where as the London bombings were all in one day.

Being from Northern Ireland; I was once told that when BA operated their Shuttle service from BFS during the height of the troubles, they refused to base their aircraft and crew in the province. Allegedly their plane was based at GLA and flew over empty each morning before the first flight! Obviously BA felt things were a little too hostile at the time, however I think they changed their opinions when things began to quieten down somewhat.
