Just off a Major and now due for retirement to be used as spares? Ah yes, that's the good old MOD, just as I remember it.

By the way, how many hours has it done? A 10 year old B767 typically has around 45,000 or 10,000 cycles on it, so in civilian life, forty years service would come out at around 180,000 or 40,000 cycles.

BTW, they were referred to as the Vicar's Knickers in the seventies, when they were still shiny [ I say, are you a REAL Squadron Leader or just a VC10 pilot? ]

The real question about those Good Old Days is "Who got the Marine Bar's 'trophy' collection when Gan closed?"
