Cool

I feel like a mere babe in arms compared to you old codgers ... only VC10s, Tridents, Viscounts and BAC1-11s in my JJC log book - which has a pic of Capt Leo Budd.

Wasn't Capt O P Jones the chap that had a habit of dressing in civvies when he was based up in the Islands, boarding with the rest of the pax. getting increasingly frustrated with the lack of pilot and saying "if that chap doesn't come soon I'll give it a go myself?" And indeed he did ... much to the consternation of the pax!!

Who says Southwest invented fun on board aircraft!

As far as Rod Eddington's concerned ... he was obviously puffing something during his student days (but did he inhale?)!!
