Tuesday 30 Aug 1988, when the Russians had just started being friendly:
I
think the photo was taken by
Flight's Janice Lowe? From my flight deck window.
Having been given the task of flying all the various TV crews and journos in our VC10K2, I was told not to tell anyone. So I didn't....
...not even the Boss! When he found out, we had the following conversation:
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I'd been ordered not to. Besides, if I
had told you, you'd only have pinched the trip!"
"I certainly would have!"
Sorry, Jim
