TH - That's funny, I had the same feeling walking out to the aircraft (although I missed the Padre's handshake!). As far as the crews were concerned though, I thought we had lost a lot of the 'old hands' and had to try to work up the NI only guys PDQ - the time scale for the recallees was outside our departure (which was to be the Thursday - the 6th) hence the rush to try to get some meaningful training.
TH and Huge - some things are probably better forgotten!
