Airtours

Was a fiddle which stopped gripper one and two guys going onto the 707..vanguard counted as 4 engine jet. Probably a good thing as airtours wrote off two of their 10 707s.
iirc biggest problem for boac guys was the rule that you had to have 100 take offs and landings which some didn't have. Days of the Atlantic barons.
