@RDPHistory I remember it well, a bloody mess. Luckily I had several tourniquets in the vehicle first aid kits. Like a scene from MASH, helicopters stacked up to pick up casualties.

@RDPHistory turned off runway, stopped, abandoned plane. port side wheels were smoking hot, one spark would've ignited the lot. as we were running from the herc armed soldiers stopped us and pushed us back to the herc, until they realised the problem.

@RDPHistory Drove a 1 ton rover and trailer off the Bezant onto a mexefloat, driver side tyres right on the edge. Was about to get out the passenger side when a 4 ton truck blocked me in. Had a quick nap until we arrived at the jetty.

@CliveWardauthor Winters were always bitter. On the flip side, summers could be equally taxing.
