Back to the original comment about Norwich and toothpaste.
Went there about a month ago with some colleagues in a warrior. I warned everyone after landing to leave anything " incriminating" such as penknives, rucksacks and toothpaste in the aircraft as we would have to go through security checks. After a pleasant tea break and goodbye to friends in the lounge we then had to go through departures. We all had our photo taken, shoes off, empty pockets, keys and coins etc in the tray, jackets through the x-ray machine and so on. Unfortunately me and one other both had bic lighters which were then confiscated. Quite right too, cos if they had not, we could have gone directly out to the apron and set light to my own aircraft!!
But the day was saved whilst being presented with our belongings on the other side of the xray machine and metal detector; a benevolent security guard took pity and gave us both a brand new box of Bryant & May matches........
.
I will say that all the staff were friendly and courteous to the last.
Oh and we thoroughly enjoyed the 100 yard ride in the 40 seater bus to the stand too.
Funny old life innit?
