Only flew on the T3 twice when for some reason BA where using them on bucket and spade routes for British Airtours. I flew to Alicantie and back (from Manchester).
I couldn't believe how quiet it was inside but so damn noisy outside (I was in row 3 both ways I think).
I also remember covering the last operation out of Manchester on 31 Dec 1985, cant remember the reg but it was a T3 and flew the mid morning shuttle into Man then did a pleasure flight before returning back as the evening shuttle. It was a cold overcast day and we where sitting at the end of 24 waiting for the overshoot at the end of the pleasure flight taking photos for a local rag.
