Did some work there myself when you joined us. remember for some time after there was an older male solo there with a liveried DanAir van.

Also went to your place just up from Southwick Cathedral which you shared with Danair Shipping. It was a friday and we went to secure documents from the safes therein but to no avail as wrong keys.

Had my eye on wall paintings of the fleet particularly the 'Comets' , returned on the monday and effectively the place had been ransacked by whom I know not. safes intact but anything not bolted down had gone.
