1 to go, no problem. It's nice to reminisce sometimes and thank you for sharing yours. Sounds like you had a very interesting career! I have sat in the cockpit of a Dove (climbing over the spar in the middle of the cabin was interesting!), but never flown in one. 'JX is now based at Kemble with us, so not too far from where she started her career!
Buttino and ETOPS - it's nice to know these aircraft are still going strong. I often think it's amazing that there are still so many of these 40+ year-old aircraft in regular use. Imagine if there were the same proportion of similarly aged cars on the road, for instance!
