Lady Buxton
What is the story with Lady Buxton and her husband Mr. Jackson. Are they sti in aviation or what?
|
Heard she recently sauntered into NW as head of flight ops.
That after a very interesting stint at FTC. Interesting career moves this lady. ;) |
What is NW? I´m one of the old FTC boys and I´m looking for som pay-back
|
Tagdenmedro,
Join the line. I also did my PPL there. :) :) :) |
That ain't no Lady
I believe she was reported to have started as the head of operations of Nationwide Airlines (see thread on strike)
Should be earning enough to be sued :} |
What did the poor lady do wrong?
|
What did she do right?:p
Ask Boomerang! The 2 of them were buddies for a while, but then she joined the "other camp";) |
Buddies with that Lady??
Alwaysinverted
Me buddies with the lady?? Never been in the flight training business myself and even less a buddy of such aristocracy. Heard enough of what she got up to with student funds at FAGC though.:ok: |
Understand she is Captain Buxton now!
|
CAPTAIN Victoria Buxton is indeed the Manager of Flight Operations at Nationwide.
What aircraft she's a CAPTAIN on we all would still like to see, I suppose we would all be CAPTAIN'S if we carried our titles from other companies as I'm sure we've all CAPTAINED C172's in our careers. Surely if having a title is soooo important, why doesn't she choose one which actually means something, like Prof or Doctor or Her Majesty. Hiding behind titles will never be able to cover up what you actually are, it just proves the obvious!!!! |
I ahd read somewhere she was doing JAA conversions at Lanseria as well. Can anyone shed any light on this?
|
I cannot imagine Vernon allowing her to do that, unless he is in on the deal as well!

Actually, Captain Victoria is STILL a Captain, since she used to fly for British Airways in the UK and British CAA before coming to SA. She also flew for the SACAA and is now DFO Nationwide. C172's no.... but B737, B767, B747 and A340 yes...
Guess the "little" pilots and "pilot wannabees" can be jealous and say what they like, cause she still ACTUALLY doesn't care. Now boys... how bout re-channeling that childish anger, go sit on a toilet and blow off some steam. :-) |
;)
That's really a trifle rude and perhaps a tad uncalled for. There are some here, stranded in Blighty for the damned winter, who have a passing knowledge of both the CAA and BA, who engage in the quite lucid ratiocination that no woman should ever be a real life CAPTAIN!:p |
APOLOGIES if my statements hurt some feelings, but it was not directed at anyone in particular and if anyone took it personally, then it was meant for you :D
please do not get me wrong..... I am not a fan of Lady Buxton! however..... I think every cockpit should be equipped with someone good looking no matter what side you are sitting on :D Emphasis on "Good Looking" ciao |
;)
Hell and Damnation. I'm back in the ball game!:cool: Reference to Debrett's Peerage and other Common Reference might determine that there is no 'Lady' Buxton neither, either, neither nor anywhere else perhaps? |
I knew Vicky back in 81 (if its the same one, must be) I understood it was mum who was lady. She seemed ok then, she was an instructor at LSF Elstree.

737 yes, but none of the others. And she wasn't a captain on anything with BA. Interesting to see you defend a cheat and thief - what's your angle? |
whoah !!!!...please children play nicely now.....it seems that we have forgotten 'Mr.Jackson' here......from what I have heard, from reliable sources mind you, he seems to be the guilty one here and not Lady B........
So going with the 'cheat and thief' label is a bit harsh dont you think....huh silverknapper :mad: .......and yes the 'lady' label is one carried over from her parents..... So now play nicely before you all hurt yourselves.....:p |
:)
What Ho! Vipers in the sandpit. Unleash the Mongooses! Would that be Jackson, B, well known ladies man and ex aviator of a hirsute persuasion? Not quite sure about the 'Lady' bit. The daughter of a Baron would bear the title 'The Honourable', as in The Hon. Miss/Mrs XYZ. I think only one Baron Buxton in English peerage: that being Baron Buxton of Alsa, a Life Peerage created in 1978. There is/was a Baronet Buxton, of Belfield, but children of Baronets carry no titles or distinctions. That's enough on Titles and Forms of Addresses for the nonce. Of course, I may be quite and absolutely wrong but then, when I lived permanently in jolly old ZA I was called Lord Cheetah!:= |
