Hi Gengis,
Yes it was most unfortunate timing. The SQ006 accident actually happened later that night, by which time I had positioned back to SIN for a night stop. On the morning of 01 Nov I had to go to FOCC to brief which was very difficult.
I was not in the employ of SIA Cargo then but had the pleasure of flying the Minister Mentor from SIN to BWN where he had a meeting with HM the Sultan of Brunei.
As an aside, we very nearly ended up in Kota Kinabalu as the weather in BWN was awful, something like 210/60 in torrential rain if I remember correctly. One of the few days that I actually felt I earned my flying pay.
The thread was progressing reasonably well until CJ and 744 Local got involved. I was going to ask the Mod to pull the thread but it would only start up again elsewhere so I thought it best to try to get this one back on track.
