The Gulf Air VC10s were captained almost totally if not totally by BA pilots who had pased their BA sell-by date, so a grand group of characters appeared in Bahrain, Harry Mills and Bismark Briggs to name but two...OK, the only two names I can remember... Harry (and one or two others) via flying BN2A/SC7/F27 in Abu Dhabi, where he went first when BA said he was too old. Then some others, not ex-BA, joined them drawn from Gulf Air's other fleets, eg the F27/Skyvans, after retraining.
