Well there have been a few with the aforementioned Dan Dare and BA amongst them, both memorable in their own way. The 'redeye' breakfast out of INV was corking, especially with a part filled aircraft and a full complement of food to get through before arrival at LHR....no doubt a task that the Nimrod formation eating teams down the road at Kinloss would relish...Bluetail having first hand experience with that!

The Brymon servce from LHR to Newquay (St Mawgan) was also memorable for the lift like departure and shake rattle and roll flight down to Cornwall.

More recently the Titan ATR shuttle flights (loads of leg room and leather seats!) around the Gulf bring back fond memories as Barry the camp attendant (no he didn't look after tents if you know what I mean) kept us fed and watered as we droned between Bahrain, Qatar and Basra. Lufthansa to Munich from Manchester is a nice service but as with most airlines nowadays you are just treated to 'ein sandvich' and a drink before arrival at one of Europe's best airports. Finally Alitalia, nice service, nice hosties, pity about the state of the airport at Turin!
