Went on a jolly to Shannon from Gatwick on an AB Airlines BAC1-11 in the mid-1990s with a plane load of other hacks (journalists) celebrating the airlines Shannon service. Took off ok but then got into the jet wash of a preceding aircraft, we suddenly dropped like a stone. I have never known an aircraft go so quiet especially as everyone was nattering as the press do. Quite scary to say the least, but we survived and continued to Shannon and an Elizabethan banquet at Bunratty Castle. The return flight was as smooth as silk. It was a bit of a 'could you please layout my brown corduroy trousers please' event.
