I remember the BIA "Paper Plane". They used to come into Lossie around 01:00hrs carrying the Scottish daily rags which had been printed earlier that evening in Manchester. I was riggering on 226OCU at the time and we'd often wander over to the VASS pan and help unload the bales of newspapers into waiting John Menzies trucks. You'd get an early look at the next day's news, well that's if you consider the Daily Record to be news. Through some nefarious means tickets for the return flight to Blackpool were available from the VASS Chiefy. I took a ride down sometime in 1979 and clearly remember standing between the pilots drinking tea as we cruised sedately over a sleeping nation wrapped in a sodium glow far below. I think I had to stand as there were no seats in the back! The return trip up was a little different as the aircraft was stacked with newspapers, I recall fashioning an armchair out of bales and settling down to read the awful news of Uncle Dickie's demise.
