Trident
Hello everybody.
I worked at one time 1963 thru 71 for BEA in Paris Le Bourget Airport. I was in charge of the Load Control section and also acting Duty Officer and therefore pretty often on the tarmac. Owing to the BEA/BOAC merger I quit BEA and joined a US carrier as Station Manager Paris.
Reading this thread brought back many many happy memories. Dealing with Vicounts, Vanguards 951 & 953, Merchantman, Argosy, Comets, all the Tridents.
I recall, if I am not mistaken, that when the T3 came into service the Pilots called it the "5 APU Aircraft". Does anyone remember that ? or is my memory playing tricks ?
I'm sure I know quite a few of you wether venerable LHS or young F/O's at the time. Of course time has gone by for all of us and I often wonder if any of the LHS who were involved in WW2 are still with us.
Well many thanks indeed for having written so many nice things on that wonderful baby that was the Trident.
