That sounded really good Compared to todays world of "full of ****e" type people...they seem to exist everywhere...management etc.

Question: Can a pilot of a 767 actually go near the trap door of the undercarriage and do the same thing if the ALTN Gear doesn't work? :)

So Jack, you were causing trouble in the air even at that tender age!!

Would the Frobisher aircraft mentioned in the report be the DH-91 Albatross, registration G-AFDI?

Strange to think that this was the standard of journalism for many years. Just a simple and factual report. No histrionics and embellishments. I am afraid that modern journalism has turned ne against newspapers.
