WHBM - Thanks - just needed confirmation. Now tempted to post log book page with, amongst others, Brits and VC.10 flights - but none from LHR.
It was a relief to do LGW to Entebbe on a 10 in 7+ hrs instead of holidaying down there in the Britannia in around 12 hrs.
I reckoned the only way I would get into Heathrow in L/H seat would be doing a Medevac - 'pricemic' thanks for keeping that dream alive!
Spacegrand has gone on to bigger & better things, but you must hold some sort of record in a 172. The only single I recall seeing there over the years was Sheila Scott's Comanche - at least I think it was, but I stand to be corrected.
Daresay Heathrow Director could list many.
I'm afraid Yorks were slightly ahead of my time, so I shouldn't complain about Britannia speeds!
