This is great! Thank you. I had heard (though have no proof...) that this was also the case when they started flying the 707s too that the runway wasn't long enough. My information is scant and through the press. I'd also love to find any staff working at Ringway for BOAC at the time. Any help would be great...
And I'd also tracked down the Patten Arms and called them for any information but the pub has changed hands so often -- not just landlords but breweries that all seems lost there. Which is sad as the stories of how people checked in then is pretty fascinating stuff.
If you think of more or have any ideas of where to go for more information I'd love it. Likewise as I uncover more I'll post it too.
Thank you!
