Golondrina - The Iberia Experience

When delivering Golondrina to Las Palmas it was discovered that the self steer mechanism needed a longer part which was flown out from the UK via Madrid leaving Gareth with the problem of sending the replaced part back - which was never going as hand luggage. Having spent an hour form filling and drawing numerous diagrams of a Hydrovane self steering KT164 standard shaft and with Stuarts ability to communicate through the power of mime he convinced the Grand Canaria Customs officer that the 2 metre steel tube wasn't a torpedo or weapon of mass destruction and they agreed to courier it back to Nottingham at a mere €126.00.
