Love the video! Without actually naming the airline involved in my post, they subsequently fell foul of officialdom for (allegedly) importing 'exotic snuff' which HMRC discovered concealed in a bulkhead. I believe their aircraft was one of the ex-RAF Bristol Britannia's which found a home at Luton mainly due to the ministrations of Airline Engineering. Oh! By the way, the wheel ruts at Luton were significantly deeper due to the waterlogged state of the ground.
