Not much, really. Sorry.
I worked as a temporary baggage handler in 1980, and pretended not to listen as one of the D/Os told the tale in the mess room.
A Viscount (I think) on the north side noted imperceptibly creeping forward from its position on the north side of the ramp as the D/O sat at his desk and looked out the window.
It was heading towards the terminal, and jumped the improvised chocks a couple of time before it got stopped. It was not the kind of event that got mentioned much.
