Dougie Newham

Bergerie,
I think that I'm right in saying that after the September 1970 hijackings to Dawson's Field, Jordan, Dougie Newham, then in BOAC Ops, got together with another wartime 10 Sqn pilot who was by then a Fleet Manager in BEA, the late Doug Evans. Together they devised the strategic combined BOAC/BEA policy for such events if they were to ever reoccur. They were both forward enough in their thinking to keep everyone safe for many years. One would have to go far to meet such kind and switched-on gentlemen too.
