CBG - Sounds like an amazing trip, good effort!!

But the fact that someone supposedly guarding your aeroplanes would do something as potentially dangerous/life threatning as siphoning fuel from them just sickens me

Best Regards, SD..

SD, Aussie Andy - Thanks for your comments.

When I realised that we had fuel siploned out of the airplanes the only time when we had armed people guarding the airplanes, this reminded me of Skua's similar story: on the London/Sydney air race, the only time their planes was broken into was when they had people guarding the a/c at night.

The funny part of this story is that when the Laayoune fuel people tried to charge us for more fuel put in the aircrafts than we had calculated we needed, we gave then a real hard time, thinking they they were trying to rip us off. That was until we realised they were in fact right!
