Re: London Cranfield

In 1987 or early 1988 Britannia flew a Boeing 767-200 into Cranfield with a group of new 'cadets' who'd signed up for the sponsored pilots programme in conjunction with CABair ( I think it was). We took pictures of the students and a CAB air Grumman trainer. IIRC, I believe I flew up in the Britannia Flying Club Mooney to supervise photography.

Captain was C**** N*****. He explained that the late little 'jink' in the final approach was due to a small amount of confusion between approach lights and the nearby M1 lighting!

The picture is in a copy of Britannia News, a few of which still exist in Ppruners attics.
