Spent the last lockdown, whiling away the time, reinserting photos kindly deleted by Photobox, a long process ,finding the photos and putting them, hopefully, in the right place. (thinks of Morecambe and Wise with Andre Preview).
Came across this cutting from the Lyneham Globe, shortly after the event.
In retrospect, it may have been an overreaction, but the Captain was relying on information passed from the freight bay and of course it was pitch black ( apart from the flames) and difficult to see where they were emanating from. We were just coasting out south of Gatwick. I think we were on the ground within 10 minutes from the time the flames were detected. A very busy 10minutes.
