The original A320's that B.Cal ordered are looking long in the tooth. The ceiling and wall panels have yellowed to be reminiscent of a smookey boozer in a seedy back street of Glasgow.

Some months before I married Mrs W., Friends of mine from Uni decided that as I was the first amongst our group us to get hitched we should have a final "boys trip" to the USA. Whilst waiting at LAX for the return flight we watched the B.cal DC10 arrive and the preparations commence for its turnaround.

After a short time we noticed a man under the tail of the aeroplans standing on a vehicle of some description obviously struggling with part of of the aircrafts equipment. Shortly after a downpour of toilet effluent covered him from head to toe which caused an outburst of laughter from us and others sitting next to us who also witnessed this unfortunate accident.
