British Caledonian Boeing 707's

Hundreds, if not more of us out there. Might need a new Thread-start.

My quick input ; School leaver in 1965, joined as Trainee Crewing Assistant. Housed over the cake shop in Horley, assisted in the office move to the Crawley Bowl. Trained by Rock Barton, Selwyn Thomas, Mike Selmes and others. Shot-down, regularly by Tosh Parlane and the Brit Skipper, Cass.

As a wannabee, welcomed on the FD on all days off by Roy Hermes, Maurice Lothian, Stew Calder, Les Goodfellow and many others. When I suggested that they sponsor my pilot training, they gave better advice, Pat Holt just fell about Larfing.

Made it to the sharp-end anyway but by then Cally had become Cally/BUA. Cripes. Got me blubbing already.
