Oh Yeah dvv - were you there ? If it was that warm then everyone in that line was significantly more culpable. In any case the point of my post was simply to point out that such practices were commonplace in North America and anywhere else for that matter that had a serious winter- not just the naughty old Russians up to their tricks again.
The CAA /FAA rules at the time were always NO DEPOSITS which we certainly in UK always adhered to but they were often observed in the breach in significantly sub zero conditions in Canada and the USA. (Such conditions rarely apertained in High Holborn).
