Al's anecdotes
Al looked even older than he was.
One of his favourite tricks was to take out his false teeth, board the aircraft with the passengers and sit down.
After a few minutes of inactivity he would say:
"B****r it, if no one else is flying this thing i'll do it myself."
He would hobble to the front of the aircraft and draw the curtains.
Shortly afterwards engines would start and soon they would be airborne.
He would then trim the aircraft slightly nose up and as the flight progressed role the odd empty beer bottle down the cental aisle.
Some passengers saw the funny side, some didn't.
