Thuderbird 3, as I said, the memory starts failing, either through age or alcohol, not sure which!

Thanks for the correction (and the marks, guess that means I've passed!). I seem to remember the TAR crews wearing a pretty 'normal' uniform but agree that the 'grooms' looked like they'd just stepped off the pampas.

On the same subject, but off the good ol' 44, there was another bunch that also came into STN in those days called, again if memory serves, Maveric Air Cargo who were operating an ex PanAm B707. The first clue to the way this lot saw themselves was the insciption 'The Biggest Bull Shippers in the World' over the crew entry door and then the crew appeared! Unform was light blue with a stetson. First time I saw them, laugh! I nearly bought a round! Only saw them a few times so I guess they didn't quite make their promises.

Nostalgia 'aint what it used to be!!

Cheers all,
