I found this bit on a
Stratocruiser page, near the bottom of the page:
That great first gentleman of the air, Capt O.P. Jones (we were on the same Strat course) later landed one short at Goose Bay, fortunately without hurting anyone. Next day he went out to examine where his wheels' marks were. He resigned and never flew for BOAC again. He had done enough for his airline and country.
I have a feeling that he also flew VC10s though, so this may not be correct.
