I know I'm old , and all previous types are in museums or scrapped ; but this ...
Boeing sent an early triple to LHR , was in an engineering hangar for staff to look at the new type . 'T 'Boi was a babe in arms , and I was 'mum with a beard' that day so off we traipsed .... He was not impressed , scared even on his 1st walk around outside and in of Boeing . Had to terminate rapidly as he was noiser that Trents ot GEs.
Perhaps that's why he's been a 'Bus 'Boi for the last 5 years and still only 25. But his 1st carried around type retired ; that will mke him feel old !
