BEA; the privilege

Interesting mix of crew.
The captain was master of the guild, big cheese cheese in training but didn't appear at the lane inquiry and took early retirement (as did the future queen's grandfather who had flown the south American tour with Prince Philip).
Cat's eyes cunningham who was part of the myth that carrots helped with night vision and crucified the way the Trident was operated at the inquiry.
The guy in the met office I think was Ross, a line trainer and a delight to fly with.
P2 was the late Geoff Brouson who took my wedding photographs. Would guess he was one of us that took 20 years to a command but benefitted from crystallisation which paid out a 6 figure pension 20 years ago. (Not me,).
Trying to put a name to P3.
A fabulous aircraft if allowed to fly it all manually and a wonderful lifestyle even if I was skint.
