It was the only time I've left a LHR gate and been cleared for immediate take off without queuing!

I forget the route but it was Eastern Airlines in the early 80s. We taxied out and stopped again to allow ex-president Nixon onto the flight with his considerable entourage. My Mother made some comment along the lines of 'Oh look, it's Tricky Dicky' much to the non-amusement of many of the Americans sat around us...

Sorry, Bush Snr, the first president. Yes, it was very weird! He was speaking at a conference the following day near Harrogate. Clinton had spoken at the same conference a few years before, but I didn't share a flight with him!
I don't know if they gave the bmi flight the call sign Airforce One that day!

They can technically fly in a civil aircraft which would use the callsign Executive One. It has been many years since it happened though.

Someone who looked like Willie Walsh in GF around 10am today, if he is quite short? About 5'6''?
