My memory must be playing tricks but I seem to remember flying in an Aztec down to Bournemouth to pick up duty frees and then on to Bordeaux for lunch.
I remember doing the same trip in (I think) the August of 1973 but in a Navajo. We were late getting back to White Waltham and, after holding at Woodley for a thunderstorm to pass over the field, we landed in the dark by the light of the members' car headlights lined up along the runway edge!
