I help maintain G-APEP at Brooklands we ran 2 of the engines last Saturday 13/06/09 and they sounded great but my abiding memory of Vanguard in the 60s was the 3am arrival from Malta on Christmas morning when we were hoping for an "early trap" home to be greeted with 2 or more pages of snags in the "tech log" and the message "merry Xmas " under the last snag , the urge to throw the book after the Captain was overwelming
