Once sat two rows from Arthur Scargill on LHR-LBA in the days when it was op'd with a 737. Must admit, being a humble Blue back then, I was somewhat surprised to see this man of the people sitting in the business lounge..but that's what being naive is all about!
p.s. who is Gavin Hastings - the name rings a bell (he isn't a famous bell ringer is he).
