Just looked in a old logbook and found my first flight in 'MR back in August 1987! Flew her to FRA and back just after joining the "Super 1-11" fleet. Spent many a happy hour in her (and the others) until '91 when I converted to Boeings.

Took my son the the Aerospace museum at Cosford a couple of years ago. They had an open cockpit day so we went straight to the ex BA 1-11 (G-AVMO) preserved there. Went inside and told my lad not to mention that I had flown this particular machine on many occasions - just wanted a quick look for old times sake. What did he say to the curator proudly sat in the left seat? "My Dad's a BA Captain and this was his plane!"

We were there for hours.............
