VC10 memories

As the shiny '10 signs off, from a penguin ,(all flap and no fly), MT Fitter/Tech, can I just say thank you to all those involved in the operation and support of this mighty bird. It took me and my family to and from the far east, (Brunei Hong Kong ,Singapore and Cyprus(x2)).

When the far east troopers started in the late 60's it was a quantum leap from the Britannia (13 hrs from Cyprus!! via Luqa) and god knows how long in a British Eagle Britannia from Paya Lebar, with no worries regarding baggage weight.

My thanks extend to the unsung MT drivers, Caterers, Cleaners, Firemen and Movers (and any other trade I have missed) without whom all those down route rates would not have been collected

Forever in the mind, the Kai Tak trainers and the Conway howl.

PM

Thank you all.
