Oh Lord..This has awakened memories..

Back a decade or 3 ago, this old-stager used to ride on Royal Mail sacks on 748 freighter flights into CastleDon... did it 12 consecutive weeks to avoid a tedious road journey...

On week 13 I missed the flight (after "my" S61 suffered a gen. failure).. that flight ended as a burning hole in the ground near Kegworth after the door detatched and wrapped around the elevator/horizontal stabiliser.

All 3 souls on-board lost.
