BA names plane after Sir Chris Hoy
Hi,
From the Herald;
http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/news..._after_him.php
BA has named a plane after Sir Chris Hoy.
Howver the journalism might be a bit suspect as the first line said BA had named a jumbo after him but further down the article said the first stop would be athens.
Regards
TBS

I believe it was a 767, not a 747... It was on BBC London news at lunch time...
I have to say, I was more interested in becoming Mr Hoy's Flight Deck Floozie, him wearing the Captain's uniform and all... But I am pretty sure it was a 767, not a 747...

Yep, definitely a 767...

Whilst I like lycra on SOME men, for obvious reasons...
I unfortunately have a fatal attraction to our real Flight Deck uniform... which leads to nothing but heart ache...
So, for now, I will just look at Mr Hoy in his Captains uniform and dream like a good boy...
