Reading the threads reminds me of various new bits of kit - Supersonic flight transition was frequently used with visitors to the flight deck. Also a special addition to some airframes, was the talking autopilot used by a visitor to the left of right hand seat - oh happy days when discussing this at Akrotiri with fast jet mates.

But I could never forget the LOX runs to Belize and the faff of changing in Gander & Dulles in mid winter

OR living in Riyadh during Granby with the strange water used from water bottles for tea - funny how my worst ever hangover was in a dry country. Who remembers SID at the BAe compounds.

14 happy years on Albert directing the pilots around the sky - hope to upload photos over the coming weeks - keep the stories flowing
