I doubt that it was the full story but Martin Emery's somewhat imaginative version of events, I knew Martin as long ago as 1979 at Laker, I met him again in Ostend in the 90's, he hadn't changed, mmm ... I wonder why he never got a command!
As per a previous PPrRuNe thread of this flight, years ago, a post was made that Martin hadn't stop talking about the story ever since, there were five personnel on board with Martin literally being the radio operator, Martin tells the story to anyone that will listen, he's had his five minutes of fame, the remainder of the crew were telling more truthful accounts and normally over a beer, I heard the account in an Irish bar in Ostend.
