I knew Emery as a F/O back in the late 70's, early 80's. On the night when the clock were to go back would you believe he telephoned us during the night to ask if it was 2 or 3am yet so that he could put his clocks back and go to bed.
Yes, on the B707 incident, as I heard the story pretty much all they could get out of Emery was "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday" whilst the Captain would be hitting him around the head with a rolled up newspaper uttering something to the effect "They know we've got a f&+#ing problem, now try doing something useful" ... The rest of the crew exited the aircraft via the fwd door, Emery was out of that DV window and down the rope so fast he burned his hands on the rope
