Hi there!!
Well lets see.. now this is a story I never really mention as nobody believes me, but in Apr 99 I flew the Man Utd team back from Milan Linate (was flying for Monarch).. This incl the whole team - Ryan Giggs, Dwight York and BECKHAM!!! There was no Posh Spice there, thats who I really wanted to meet. Also on that flight was Richard Wilson (Victor Meldrew) and of course Sir Alex. Was an easy flight to do as none of the players were allowed to drink, so Sir Alex said to my fav Purser that we could keep the champagne as a reward to good service!!
Also with Monarch have flown a few tacky game show hosts and C rated celebs... including Paul Coya (how do u spell that name- did "Turn About" or "Catch Square" or sommat like that on BBC2 in late 80s), Ross King "Kids TV" and Jeremy Beadle back from Malaga (AGP), they were doing a Charity Golf Tournament there. Flown Anneka Rice to Sharm El Sheikh - she was lovely - very nice.
When I flew for BMI, I flew Carol Smillie to Edinburgh, won't disapoint any fans but she was a total BIATCH!!! She never Smiled at all.... Also had Caprice on a flight to Nice with them -she was doing a report for "Wish you were here".
Then lastly thankgod!!!! With Astraeus - the only "celebs" I flew back was Southampton FC football team back from Murcia!!
Anyway - I am still applying to go back to it - why?!!! Wll its a laugh!!
Take care and speak soon
Hottowel!!! xxx
