Flew Shorts regularly from HUY to LHR and AMS and for a short time GLW. I remember waiting to leave GLW one night and delayed because the wind was too strong. It was blowing a hooligan but eventually we left and i looked out of the window and we seemed to be about 10 feet above the runway travelling at walking pace. We then turned around and travelled to Teesside faster than the Pilot had ever done it before, before carrying on to HUY.
If the 1900 flight from LHR to HUY didn't get off before Concorde I seem to recall that we had to wait about 10 minutes until the turbulence subsided.
One time after a bumpy ride from AMS an American chap opened the overhead locker and a bottle of whisky fell out and crowned the chap sitting below. The American picked the bottle up and said "Is this your's Buddy?", dropped it into the lap of the semi conscious feller who had blood running down his face and walked off the plane without a backward glance!!
