Was sent up the front end of a north african operator which had just done three hours

Dead heading from geneva to zurich..eco fuel, our engineers had done the external check and not seen the thick layer of clear ice on the wing top. Eagle eyed ex luftwaffe skipper spotted it. Took two full goes with the deicers to clear it. Oat 13 iirc.
