Senior First Officer Norman Tebbit ended his BOAC career on the Boeing 707 fleet, having started on the Canadair Argonaut. He was also an extremely hard-nosed and very skilled BALPA union rep., leading some people in management to suspect he might have communist leanings.You could have knocked us all down with a feather when the BOAC News - aka 'PRAVDA' or 'The Friday Firelighter' - announced that he'd been adopted as the Conservative Party candidate for Chingford! Yes, really!
