Loose rivets:

I thank you for your kind comments about Laker and I absolutely endorse what you say about the high standards in the company.

I was one of the ex-Transport Command captains and, having spent 16 years flying 4-engined aeroplanes through Cbs (because the aircraft wouldn't go above 15,000 feet most of the time and the weather radar was rubbish), it was a joy to fly the DC-10 which could get above or around the weather most of the time.

I think my record was eight lightning strikes in a month.
