GBFEU was one of the Teeside aircraft which I flew in 1978/79. My last flight in EU was 9th July 1981 which was an air test probably just before it went to Australia. That's where I remember the problem with testing the sponsons from. As I was then on the S76A line so I had not flown a 330 for ten months.
My last 330J flight was in GBERH on 31st July 1984 when I flew it from Redhill to Southampton to be loaded on a ship to Hong Kong and then China. It then went to Australia.
