Thank you for allowing me, a non-techy, to participate in your lovely thread!
Just a short story about the adorable, charming and all-round fantastic bloke, Capt. John Cook.
During an exceptionally busy flight (MPs, press with cameras and sound booms on board - cc trying to negotiate the aisle with mayhem abounding) - John came out of the F/D and was standing in the forward galley looking bewildered.
"What can I do for you, skip?" I asked as I rushed in to replenish a drinks tray.
"Oh Landlady, thank goodness.... I'd love a coffee but I can't work the boiler............"
This from a training captain par excellence, with a twinkle in his eye who knew every inch of that machine - (and in the days before bev makers), who just wanted to save me a job!
I hope the angels are making your coffee now, John.
But that's what everyone was like....we certainly were a team which, I'm sorry to say, isn't always the case these days.
Now boys, I will leave you to get back to your sprockets and widgets.
