Many thanks for that.

Ahhh... the Guardsvan... flight deck so big you could play tennis in it. I flew to Malta in one, around 1967. When we reached TOC the captain appeared.. looked along the cabin and saw a young boy of about 10 or 11 who was travelling alone and beckoned him. Some while later I was invited to the flight deck (having previously made arrangements) and when I entered I was amazed to see the youngster in the captain's seat! The look on his face will be something I'll remember for always.

I checked some of the other videos, particularly Andy's 60th birthday. I thought it was a rush for Hammer Films but, no, just my old mate Mike Crutch getting his ugly face in the shot!!!
