Hello,
I wonder if there is anyone here who remembers my Grandfather and Great Grandfather , Capt L.V " buddy" Messenger and his son Capt P.L Messenger.
Great Grandad originally flew for Imperial on the HP42 he went on to become Fleet manager on Stratocruisers before taking a mangement role at WAAC at Lagos in 1959.
Grandad started with BOAC in 1948 and was seconded to Aden Airways for a couple of years before returning on Stratocruisers, he got his command on the DC7, moved on to the Comet 4 and the 707 before finally flying the DC10 in a tie up with Air New Zealand during the mid 70's.
He passed away in 1977.
Anything is interesting good, bad or ugly!
