Mr. Moran, we going to be on time
in Benghazi?

:01:10

I don't see why not, Gabriele.

:01:13

I'll ask Captain Towns
to make a special point of it.

:01:17

1350. Radio out of service.
Voltage regulators inoperative.

:01:22

Holding course for Benghazi.

:01:25

Thanks, Mike.
I'll let you have them back.

:01:27

- How's it going up there?
- Lousy.

:01:30

Never taken off in one of Arabco's
old tubs without something being wrong.

:01:34

This time we've got faulty regulators
and a duff radio.

:01:38

Don't let that hold you up.
I've got two months' leave coming.

:01:41

It's not the company's time
we're flying on.

:01:44

Radios are no good anyway.
I got a radio.

:01:47

Record players are nice, though.
Reliable.

:01:58

Thank you, doctor.

:02:00

- Cigarette?
- No, thank you.

:02:02

It's good of you
to give the Army a lift.

:02:05

Not at all.

:02:12

That's not much good, is it, sergeant?
Stow it away with the cargo.

:02:34

The number four control pulley
on the starboard side seems a bit noisy.

:02:40

Perhaps binding a bit.
I couldn't see properly.

:02:43

I don't feel it up here.

:02:45

I'd better have a look.

:02:47

Hand me the flashlight.

:02:51

- Ready for another flying lesson?
- Haven't recovered from the last one.

:02:55

Oh, now, I got her
all trimmed up for you.

:02:58

Just hold her straight.
