Bert, sorry, but I particularly didn't want any of our ex-A300 guys to think I was implying criticism of them. They were a very hard working bunch of guys who I think enjoyed some of their time with us. I certainly enjoyed their company! The Dorint bar near SPL was a favourite watering hole of both Belfast and A300 crews! When did you escape?
As to how many got conned, well they took all our final month pension contributions from our salaries but they never made it to the Fund!
Engineer, Aladin's cave survived the Sim fire and yes, the insurance claim rebuilt all the offices and the hangar to a very high standard!
