Back in the good old days of Brymon and the Dash7's...when they used to fly Plymouth,Newquay, Heathrow.
Last flight of day from Plymouth to LHR was delayed for aprox.
4 hours.
To the astonishment of my colleague and I, an announcement was made that whatever refreshments we required were available from the bar/cafe, on production of boarding cards. That included draught Stella!
A resting BA 747 pilot, we were chatting to in the lounge couldn't believe it...thought someone had made a mistake... on checking it was confirmed that we could have unlimited amounts of whatever we wanted.....so we didn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Many happy, pizzed passengers went to Heathrow that night!
They fed us more free booze on the flight.
