As to U.S. helicopters coming in at 4:30 for the Delta team, that's
because the mission was accomplished.... in less time than it took the SAS
to find the tree sap and berries.
PS To the victors go the "steaks n chips" and if we happen to be in the
UK at the time, just make sure to hold the "mad cow" and make the beers
cold will you?
