I suppose 4 engines were running on this B747, but I'm not sure!
As for pax only some 20 airline staff
were allowed on board and we all had to sign a form that we were flying at
our own risk.
Besides the cabin crew were in civvies.
Maybe BA accepted us because otherwise we could have been stuck at
SEZ for ages!
But back on track: Swiss handled the YFB incident admirably!
