Aah yes,the BCal unplanned departure. The Captain was in the LHS for high-speed taxi trials after a tech defect was fixed with an engineer in the RHS - I can remember him telling me the story once upon a time (through clouds of tobacco smoke, I think), although seem to recall that he's sadly long passed. Lovely chap, and a privilege only realised later in life to have worked with more than a few of his era.

Right: the Dan-Air 1991 Newcastle programme:
