Noted about the seat inside the door, must be a great perch for the current GEs. From my memory, my favourite view during my time as a GE was coming back over Paris one very clear winter evening, the lights were nothing short of spectacular.
Middlesborugh, thanks for that very interesting link to the report on the cabin pressurisation problems in the J fleet. It sounds like the corrosion could be caused by dissimilar metal corrosion, leading to the corrosion products being fed in to the cabin, and thus to the occupants. I remember some years ago being on board a K, when, on take off from Laarbruch I believe, the cargo pack Cold Air Unit went in to meltdown. By the time the ALM called the front end, who aborted the take off, the whole aircraft was filled with some very acrid smoke. Similarly, you can imagine these corrosion products circulating around the J.
Happy thread anniversary to all who have contributed to "Coffs baby".
