I rember that shed. One of the Gurka's, Dil Bahada I think (probably misspelt as well), was tasked with clearing the rubish out of it for "Sea Dump". I remember Sea dump was the extent of his understanding of English. Any way amongst the rubish was a petrol driven refueling pump which we rescued following some serious debate about no sea dump. We used to refuel the Sioux helocopters with a manual pump out of 40 gallon drums. We had to pump fast before the drums rusted away as I recall - hard work it was too. To cut a long story short a cleaned spark plug got the pump working again until someone put 130 octane avgas into it. Sadly sea dump won the day.
