Trident & the Flying Saucer

I am surprised the story of a Trident flying into Moscow and a flying saucer has not come up.

One day at a sailing club, I asked Captain Tony Colin (BA 747 then) if he had ever seen a flying saucer. As that week there had been reports in Bexleyheath were I lived at the time, of people seeing one.

The answer was yes, there was even a cartoon in The Times of him and his Captain and an article about the incident. I did remember reading about it and the cartoon years before, not knowing it was him.

Tony was often my buddy on rescue duty at the sailing club and he would take the boat to the limit. As for me, I would just lay down in the boat and let him get on with being the helm.

If you see this Tony, email via Pprune the family would like to hear from you.
Mike
