I last flew ZA369 exactly 10 years later - Feb 95 - leading a pair to Norway (Ex Strong Resolve?). Bad snowstorms, dwindling fuel and an unplanned and IMC blind join on a VC-10, thanks to a helpful F3 that we forcibly glued ourselves to. If I remember correctly we were all grounded afterwards due to (a rather bizarre) fuel contamination with a VC-10 that had gone on to 'infect' loads of receivers.
Doesn't feel like 23 years ago.
