A good black and white photograph of K Car leading in three G Cars after a punch up with gooks in the TTL.
Note the pre positioned fuel drums on the runway left by the land tail which would follow the Fireforce-in those days I only weighed 150 lbs and boy did I hate rolling and trying to pick up the drums on my own. Pilots were never around when it came to refuelling.My back still suffers from lifting those 44 gallon drums.
One thing that is universal about Pilots in every nation on the planet (fixed or rotary-wing) is that under almost any circumstance besides flying or pre-flight, they may be located in the Pilots Lounge "filing the paperwork" and "sorting something out"
