Did a fam flight Heathrow - Newquay once with Brymon.
Took a taxy into town on arrival at Newquay; cost about 5 quid (about 1981) so coming back, I took the local bus to the RAF side; cost 22p; '22p' I said to the driver, 'yes it's half price on mondays' he replied!! Anyway on arrival, I phoned the tower and did a liaison visit, then scrounged a lift across the airfield to the Brymon Terminal. The ground handlers couldn't figure out how I arrived from airside!!
After getting airborne for Heathrow, F/O handling asked the captain for windscreen anti-icing; captain picks up his torch (no illumination on the flight deck) selects a switch- and the windscreen wipers came on!! Sorry says the captain, been on Twin Otters for six weeks!!
