IIRC BZN is one of the few, if not ONLY RAF Station to NOT have a Gate Guardian. Some have more than one, with others on Sqns.

It would have made a great gate guardian. It could have been used as a guardroom too. It would even have had toilets!

History trying to repeat

I was prompted to revisit this thread (and my experience with XV109) by this news report.

https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/e...aged-fuselage/

At face value, it looks like the crew were a) stupid and b) lucky. Perhaps the Captain should be c) fired (which is essentially what happened to the guy in the left seat on XV109)
