I spent so much time deliberating whether to refer to it as 28 as it was or 27 as it and of course got the important bit wrong.
It was indeed Viscount house and Mrs PB worked on the 5th floor-senior managers with tea in nicer cups , the guy she worked for handled facilities issues like jet mufflers, gantries and other specialised equipment.
Her co worker came in ashen faced one day to admit she had collided with Tri-Star while parking-they were allowed to park beneath them to some extent- of course a small car hitting a main wheel tire on a Tristar isnt going to do anything to the tristar but it didn't do her car any good- and as for 'other vehicle details' on her insurance claim well....A lot of people worked at the BA bases back in the day I am sure its much smaller operation numbers wise now . My wife got paid alot more at Speedbird London but it was housed ina tiny windowless room whereas she had a view of the airport as good as anyone in Viscount house and rather missed that
