C'mon Beagle, you must know that he was having a pop at you, not the funbus. Who could not like that magnificent noise and vibration factory?
The harsh rasping note of the engines, the sensation of an open top sports car, as the wind whistles through your hair, while you are sitting inside wondering why the door seals are all perished.
I should point out, since there is a fragile link..... the last VC10 trip that I flew on had a TARTAN callsign!
