My first Tristar was 'inadvertant'; I'd been offloaded (ATCO Famil Flight) in Milan (by Alitalia) and managed to get to Paris Orly and transferred to CDG/Heathrow for a one way trip. As you say the jump seat behind the captain was superb with a lull length window right next to me.
My next Famil flight was Heathrow O/I Larnaca with that superb view all the way.
As we shut down at Heathrow, the door opened and in came the purser with a tray of drinks for us; a mniature of whisky topped up with champoo; perfect end to a great flight.
