But what about the crews who operated it and those who kept it flying in '82? Without their considerable efforts, it would have just been a lump of metal and rivets. I hope they get matching recognition for all that they did to start the legend that BN became.
And all my mates that were on the Conveyor, some of whom were badly effected at the time. Hope they are all still doing well..
