I was on that last flight from Canada
Firstly might I say what a great thread! I've joined the forum as I was a passenger, 12 years old, on the aircraft that was flown by Peter Hogg from Canada to Luton following news of the impending collapse. My family and I had been on a package holiday to St. Lucia, and I retain many memories of both the Halcyon Days Hotel and the return flight(s). We'd been put-up in a hotel in Canada whilst the plane was being sorted (fuel-stop according to this thread but we'd had a lot of engine problems I recall). We were eating our dinner when there was a tannoy announcement that we must leave for the airport immediately and that anyone who was not there would be left behind. I also recall an announcement that there was no food onboard... but I think there was plenty of drink.
I'm keen to hear of any other memories from people on this flight. I note that Jaqui is probably best placed to comment and I've PM'd you Jaqui!
