Any South Africans?

Idi Amin was my boss when I flew for East African Airways. When our operations manager resigned, rather than speed-up checking out unqualified local pilots, Idi appointed his friend, Captain Trevor Hill, a Judo Black Belt and International Boxing referee as as the new ops manager. Trevor had refereed Idi when he was boxing in the Uganda army. That was after one of his tanks put a round through the airport building at Entebbe. Idi was thinning out the opposition main tribe, the Muganda at such a rate that the army helicopters were dropping bodies into Laker Victoria almost nonstop. Quite often on final approachin on our the SVC10s we were warned to watch out for helicopter acivity.
