Hi, Old ,not Bold. The story of the hard boiled eggs reminded me of a BOAC
situation at MAN. Speedbird operated a couple of B707 freighters, G-ASZF
and G-ASZG through MAN The story was that the Flt Deck crews had
demanded a steward be on board (rumour had it,) that one of the stewards
allocated to freighters had been suspended from pax flts for "Striking" a pax.
I had a visit one early morning at BE from Geoff Hargreaves, a friend and,
duty manager at BOAC cargo, asking if I would like some fresh eggs.
The capt. refused the move the aircraft until they had eggs for breakfast.
Geoff drove to a farm in Styal, near MAN, and bought 144 eggs, giving the
cpt. 6. The rest are history.
