My favourite memory of Speedbird London was raising them on the HF from Bandar Seri Begawan one night. One of our pilots had snagged the HF for having poor range when he couldn't raise Darwin - they seldom knew how to choose the right frequency ranges for the time of day. Very satisfying to sign off the tech log entry with "Contacted Darwin on ----, Karachi on ---- and Speedbird London on ----. HF range and operation found satisfactory."
