Mostly happy days (nights), but I remember the night the BAF Viscount crashed near Uttoxeter.
A bit after my time, Dixi; I was there in '92 and as far as I can remember (about five minutes these days) there weren't any Vanguards/Merchantmen. I did work on them for Air Bridge for a short time in '87, just when the Argosies were on the way out. One benefit of our regular Coventry-Ostende-Coventry Herald evening route was picking up a couple of cases of Stella whenever our stocks were low. After intensive testing, we found that the Dart whine had no adverse effect on the constituents.
