I had the privilege to work in Dan Air operations from 78-83. As a young spotty avgeek teenager, I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. First week of famil entailed 3 flightdeck trips GVA, BGO and MUC. MUC was in a Comet - got as far as DVR and all the hydraulics pissed out. We returned to LGW, manually lowering the gear IIRC, quick a/c change and off we went again. Those 5 years stood me in very good stead for my later career in ATC.

Fond memories.
