Way back in the late '70s, a BA Tristar followed the 'yellows' at Luqa one night!
We only found out when the Met Man rang up to say that the observer was just about to report "sky obscured" when the wing moved on - it was very dark!
A substitute crew took the a/c out!
Iirc this was the first time a Tristar had been to the airport - it was meant to be a proving flight!
