I am back... Traveller NOTE, If you are travelling international do NOT
fly KLM!! They are in cash flow problems and the service sucks, we were
delayed 2 hours in Amsterdam travelling to Nigiera, that caused a day
delay because we got to Lagos, NI too late to get to our destination
that evening (night driving is very dangerous) That set everything back
a day. On the return 15 minutes from boarding time (22h30 local) we were
offhandedly told that the flight was "delayed" 24 hours. That those in
first class would be put in the Sheraton, the rest of us where they could
find, we had already been looking at hotels in Lagos earlier, and believe
me, "where the could find" was scary, we were able to get out on a BA
flight that night, but had to pay. We are now fighting them to get our
money back.

Evans, do you have a radio shop there, we can probably stage the whole
thing there rather than at my place if you want to do so. I am trying
to get caught up here, but would probably prefer to work on it at your
place if you have access to a bench monitor.

out and having to identify your bits and pieces in the midst of torn
and twisted metal."
