Innit', bruv foldy....

BPE, one of our VC10K captains was also the 3rd generation to fly the aircraft. Her grandfather brought the aircraft into service with BOAC, her father also flew it in BOAC - and she captained its last ever flight when the last airworthy 'standard' VC10 (then a VC10K2) went to St. Athan for 'reduction to spares'.

I guess I'm 2 away from Adolf. I met the son of Rheinhard Heydrich, one of Hitler's most brutal henchmen. Unlike his utterly dreadful father, the son is a very pleasant and genial fellow - a classic case of like father, most emphatically NOT like son!
