Delivered a Tonka to Honnington from Bruggen in mid '80s, with a VIP Andover laid on to return us, sharpish, back to Bruggen (due on in QRA!). Anyhow, the Andover was available to take us as it had been on standby for a task transporting Mrs T somewhere. The Andover was pristine so, felt a little incongruous trying not to soil the decor in full Tonka kit! Andover crew were great, full silver service, fine teas, salmon sandwiches, vol-au-vents and clotted cream scones all served with style and a smile in the plush, sound deadened VIP transport! Apparently, Mrs T had taken the train instead, the aircraft was released to transport us and, we got Mrs T's grub! Great!
