The Crew

Sam Coleridge

Sam is retired. He spends his entire life travelling the world and climbing mountains and diving. He used to work for Tandy the well known Electrical store. There is a rumour flying around that he might have been in the Army. I overheard someone mention some unimportant regiment that might have had the word Guards in it??

Sam's dream is to be able to drill the Malawi Customs for two hours.

ROLE - Navigator, Linguist, harasser of Border guards

The tank commander in Ethiopia

Raf Jah

Raf managed to get himself written down as the expedition leader. This makes no difference as no-one listens to him anyway! He owns Swahili Divers in Pemba (Tanzania). He says he runs it, but his staff say the place is better off without him.

Raf's dream in an expedition where EEODS doesn't hit anyone. (too hard) ROLE - Expedition Commander, photographer, chronicler of tales, Linguist

Raf fixes The Weasel in the Masai Maara. As you can see he's loving everyminute of it!

Stuart Catling

A keen diver, Engineer and one time corporal (acting paid sgt he informs us loudly!) in the Royal Air Force, Stuart is a valuable addition to any expedition. Stuart's claim to fame is repairing the Air defence of Belize while drunk, but that again is just a viscous rumour.

Stuarts dream wish is an expedition where the commander doesn't break anything.

ROLE - Engineer, mechanic, driver. Security
