EWS was one of the girls with the centre-wing tanks wasnt she?

She was one of the most reliable of the fleet and like her immediate predecessor had excellent on time performance.

I know the poor old junior jumbo cops a bagging from many, but I cannot recall a single "fumes in the cabin" incident at eenie weenie.

Maybe it was a function of maintainence and/or the level the aircon has been backed off to. Interested to hear opinions on this.

However, one of our girls is departing and I am pleased she will be belting around the Balkans getting in the way of quicker jets and making her presence felt.

Hopefully, in the corner of a hold, there is a tiny piece of Tamworth soil off a bag snatchers sandshoe, and maybe a little off one of mine.

May she serve long and well.

EWL
