I was watching a very interesting old BOAC video involving BOAC training at Shannon, on the VC10; I'm sure most of you would have seen this video - very well worth a watch if you haven't.
The training captain here is one Capt. Tom Stoney. He had a very illustrious career with BOAC and also served in the RAF Reserve during the war (58 Sqn, Bomber Command, which flew Whitleys and Halifaxes); he was the captain who flew Her Late Majesty back on an Argonaut, after George VI died. He also flew the first Comet 4 - also the first jet flight to the US. Obviously, he became a VC10 training captain at some stage; just wondered if anyone knew of any other types he flew etc? Something tells he may also have flown the first 707 flight as well?
