Sadly according to my wife I have kept my diaries. We did a tip run last weekend and they came very close to going, as in box’s in the garage. I am back in the UK this weekend recovering from Carnival in Munich so will have a look to see what I can find.

I have not opened any that far back so a voyage of discovery for me. I do remember being being very stared at when boarding the Gulfstream as parked between two Britannia 737 with passengers queuing to board, as I was in my mid 20;s. My then MD was furious that they had done that for me, as he had flown with SAS to go to the same place via Copenhagen .

You have aged me with those memories, but in a nice way. The other odd carrier I used out of LBA was a Shorts operator on the Edinburgh route but the name escapes me at the moment. I remember some incredibly cold aircraft in winter with flexi hose piping hot air onboard.

Cheers
Mr Mac
