Personally the Loco would like to see Miss Nancy repaired if it is viable.
Having flown on the girl on the 1st International passenger service before entering service, I and everyone else aboard fell in love.
One can only marvel at the expertise and airmanship of the crew to hold together what was a close to untenable set of circumstances. In WWII that would have drawn a bunch of DFCs.
God it's great to have our Aussie crews!!
If they can't fix OQA, I am sure LRE will find some space, a lot that is.
I hope they do, but I have always been a "favourite aeroplane" sook.
Maybe the fact that OQA is haunted by Nancy-Bird helped the guys and girls to get her down safely too. Think on that. Refer to the Eastern
L1011 in Ghost of Flight 401. If you haven't read it you must be a journo - shoo!!!
Bring the girl home - and fix her if you can.
Best all
