Crash was only a few weeks after I left MPA (I left 9 May 86)
bit later than that mate - end of Feb 87 - 26th or 27th
I was in the gozome Tristar and saw it out the window before we taxied back.
And I know I just got back in time for my Anniversary on the 28th. Another reason for getting Timmy back was SOP in case fuel contam had been an issue - so all aircraft grounded until all fuel sources checked (I'd just finished a tour as Hels and CFSO in HQ BFFI).
