Pan Am and TWA

I remember when clipper 707s & 747s were regular visitors to SNN when I was a kid, got me into aviation really. And the Aeroflot cabin crew......

An old codger in SNN ATC told me a story at the beginning of my career about a TWA 707 Captain who used to announce his arrival on freq by playing his harmonica. One day BA/BOAC were doing touch and goes on their brand new 747 for crew training. They made a balls of one of their approaches and bounced apparently. Mr harmonica had been holding short and made a negative "wah wah wah" noise with the harmonica. Apparently the BOAC captain lambasted Mr TWA over the airwaves.
