LHR - MRU
Embarked on this service at LHR one morning on G-AWNF (I think around 1980 when I was with BAe athough it could have been earlier). We got as far as BAH where we were all off-loaded for reasons I can no longer remember. All the pax were put up in various hotels (I and others were in the Gulf Hotel) and 24 hours later the flight resumed. My memory is a little vague after all these years but is a diversion to BAH reasonable for a flight going to NBO or would we have been going LHR-BAH-MRU?
A more vivid memory of this flight is that whilst walking to the departure gate I met a very nice young Mauritian woman who needed help with her various bags. We contrived to sit next to each other when on board and arranged to meet up again in Mauritius. We met many times subsequently and are still in contact to this day and she named her son after me! (Her son but not mine!)
