I well remember coming back from Budapest in a TU134 with Mr. & Mrs.Grubby (ex of these columns) , when Clint was asked up to the flight deck. He didn't return until after landing at Heathrow. Said landing was enlivened by the fiercest braking that I've ever experienced. All the seats tipped forward. I remarked to my wife that it was probably the crew showing Clint how quickly the aircraft could be brought to a stop (she being a nervous flyer). As we left the runway, I looked down the rest of it, to see a Lufthansa A300 still firmly in the middle of it (we were off the runway before it began its vacating turn). A "Land After" not quite complying with the parameters. It turned out that Clint had been summoned by the crew as they had received a message from LATCC to let him know which car park his car was in !
