I was Pax (and the only blue job) on a VC10 Kai Tak to Brunei, only about 30 Pax, PF did a spectacular departure, even for a 10. Spoke to the loadie about it and he reckoned they (the pilots) had decided to show the brown jobs on board just what a sportscar the 10 was, I know that even at 37 years distance it still sticks in the brain box.
