Nice one Mike , the "African Queen" at her best :clap:

I nearly went to Accra on her one day whilst working in BA's Contract Handling Unit out of T3 .....checking for the last pax to board , unbeknown to me he had boarded while I was down the back ....we pushed back , and were on our way ,,,,,a quick circuit of the teminals and we were back on stand !!!! Quite relieved I was :lol:

Cheers

That's nothing, Paul :Wow: - I was working for THF Airport Services from building 472 (on the North side) at the time , we were still sorting out the catering at the back one day (the hi-lift was parked well away from the aircraft) when push-back began.

The words "ferret" and "drain-pipe" come to mind. :lol:

Then there's the El Al 747 story - just love those AK47s. :whistle:

...and going down in the lift to the forward galley in a Saudi Tristar............!

at least you didn't walk straight out of the back door Mike!

that's a super model Paul, fantastic piece of work. I remember that DC.10,virtually part of the furniture at LHR, in almost every day.

thanks for posting it,

I've very nearly walked out into space on many BA Tridents, Monarch 720s, Dan Air Comets and BCAL 1-11s - I have no idea how I've managed to got this far in life ! :lol:

no but I bet you have a story to tell about it so go on but maybe without taking Paul's topic too far off track - maybe a new topic called 'Mike's life of aviation adventures' :D
