YAWN YAWN.. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT..
1)aog 75/76 Friday Night - bad start to weekend
2) Crew had NOT been 3 days in LDES - they had arrived the night before -at 1800 - they were late to a-c due to having to return to hotel to check-out as they were then asked to the extra sectors and would not get back to LDE that night
3)Ops decided to run with delay to LDE next day...due abysmal handling in MAN, crew did not arrive in LGW until 2359z; needing 18 hours rest
4) Next day, crew could not do LDE/PIK and DUB/IBZ, a-c brought ex BZZ but RAF would not lend pallets - catering was loaded in LDE - that was always planned
5) a-c next day dropped into LDE to get bags - it was a ferry flight IBZ/MAN
