Harbour circuits

I recall sitting up on the Peak watching a Cathay gentleman doing several circuits inside the harbour in a Convair 880. Quite spectacular and great to watch.

Then there was the shorter management type from BA who managed to get both inboard engines in a 707-436, suspend himself, give himself a Bo******** in the mirror, reinstate him self and fly out again!!! The engineers words on touch down were, "you got number 3, Oh SH** you got number two as well"!!!

Those were the days, so long gone.
