Hmm, sounds a bit dubious. The news of Kennedy’s death came through on a Friday evening so everyone would have been in Happy Hour. If you had an engine fire over Liverpool I’m not sure you’d take it back to base but divert somewhere and finally if a double engine fire warning, which while not routine was not exactly unheard of, followed by a safe landing caused him to quit on the spot then he certainly didn’t have the right stuff.!

Mind you, I might have gone into the boss and said I’m not flying with that captain again; engine fire and presses on to base where the weather is terrible?
