In mid 1975 I finished a 2.5 year contract in SE Asia, based out of Singapore, working in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Indonesia. The highlight was sitting in the middle of the jungle, working nights, listening to the Moody Blues and Pink Floyd. I then spent 6 months in Dallas prior to ending up working out of Capetown for the next couple of years, arriving by way of Windhoek, and on to Christmas Eve in Walvis Bay. A memorable night, the German contingent started an action replay of WW1 in the bar. We ended up being thrown out of the hotel and spent a night on the beach until we were choppered out the following day.An interesting ride as the diamond fields were supposedly closed airspace.
