I remember the un veiling of BCAL's first 747, G-BJXN.
When Adam Thompson pulled the curtain to reveal the name "Mungo Park - the famous scottish explorer" we all said "WHO"?
I think they were running out of famous Scots after the DC-10 namings.
It was known as "Mungo Jumbo" for a while.
And the first job I did on it was to change all 16 mainwheels after it had been training in Shannon for a week.
