Then they fell into the hand of civvies...
It is alleged (on good authority, I assure you) that a young fellow was being interviewed for a job as FO somewhere in Essex. The interview consisted of just one question..."How many cans of Boddington's fit into a standard flight bag?"
He got the job.
(It wasn't me) My interview consisted of "May I see your logbook?" followed by "Can you start Monday?".
They clearly inspired a special spirit amongst their crews!
