I flew into a snowy Manchester on 21.12.81 from Barbados in Laker DC-10-30 (G-BGXE). I was told that we were to deadhead back to Gatwick in a Euroair Bandeirante (which was a bit of a squeeze with three flightdeck and eleven girls). The Bandit was parked on a remote stand and it was surrounded by snowbanks apart from behind. The lad who was driving it said that we would have to wait until the snow banks were cleared. That was never going to happen. I told him that we had just come from Barbados and it would be a bloody sight quicker if we all got back and pushed his aeroplane around such that he could taxi out the way he came in. And that is exactly what we did. I wish someone had got a photograph of the event.
