Your Nicest Airline Experiences

[Mr Mac]

I forgot somthing I did for Children in Need in the UK in the mid 1980,s which I must rate as one of my best experiances with many different crews with BMI. Myself and my then girlfreind got sponsered by BMI to fly around on their routes with me dressed as a Bear collecting money from passengers and at their variouse terminals (excepet Birmingham who would not give permit). Started on the Sunday from LBA to LHR and did 3 flights a day on average to a number of UK and European destinations. Crews were brilliant on all sectors and had only been told that they "may have a bear on board during the week" on their flights, and the first they were aware was when we stepped on board. Flew Birmingham to Brussels ret on DC9 with a crew who we brought back durty free for, and who,s copilots wife was going to have a baby that night !. Got to fly in the cockpit during landing in Birmingham dressed as a Bear which caused a surprise to the rampy !. A good week, and we raised a good sum for Children in Need. Do not know if any BMI crew remember this ?. I think I have some photos some where of Bears picking up cabin crew which I will post if and when found.
