Memories Past

So - the VC10 - lovely to fly - still remember NBO LHR at night with no Autopliots. Flight Engineer got quite good towards the end!
Then the Tri-Star - best comfort - great visibility and you could grow tomatoes in the flight deck. Eventually managed to land it with reasonable certainty.
The BAC 1-11 after the 1011 - missed the nought in between the numbers. Nice to fly bit technically a nightmare - still remember the engineer at MUC who had a lump hammer to get the CSDS going.
Then the 757/767 with lots of mentions on the forum - different but both delightful in their own way. 757 simple and the 767 a thinking man's aeroplane.
Happy days and a great career.
