ORAC - I remember the 747 low pass over Stanley, but wasn't this the final BA747 before the Timmies took over, probably in 86 (ish) -I did so many tours there in the 80s it all blurs into one. I also remember being stuck in Stanley for days, with my baggage waiting at MPA, cursing the crabs who thought a twice weekly Tristar could replace a thrice weekly 747.
Fonder memories of a jolly in the Herc tanker, low level and banked to what seemed like an unlikely 90 degrees, then playing "fighter affiliation"(?) with the F4s. Halcyon days, although I'd have used a different expression at the start of my 4th tour....
