"On a business trip back from Belfast to Liverpool. The cross winds were so bad we landed on one wheel and the wingtip was only a foot off the ground How the pilot manged to level is off i'll never know " Had much the same into Zurich, I actually found it quite exciting. But when the engines throttle back just after take-off, I think they've died and so will I. EVERY TIME | |||

"Flying back at night in winter from exercise from Norway in a Hercules transport plane, loaded with 3 land rovers and trailers. Last trailer is on the ramp at back..half way home a Jerry can in said trailer starts leaking (pissing) 20 litres of petrol as rubber seal had perished..trailer has drainage holes so fuel filling back of plane directly..this is what we call ' a bad thing' told to strap in as back ramp lowered at 25 000 feet as they drain excess fuel out. It's quite nippy at this height at best of times, never mind with a massive draught blowing though aircraft! At one point the aircrew were going to cut the straps holding trailer and kick it out mid flight. The problem was it was my trailer with all my kit/ duty free hidden in there.. Luckily trailer was saved and I lived to drink the duty free!" How you forget these things! Just after the Falklands War I was flying jollies with a Nimrod Squadron in Scotland. On one trip we had an engine failure on take off, so the pilot stuck it down and stood on the brakes, which overheated and ignited fuel dripping from the vents. So we took the spare instead. These aircraft had been hastily retrofitted for air to air refueling and just had a big pipe that ran from a probe behind the cockpit along the floor to the tanks. In flight I noticed leaks which the crew said was quite normal! | |||

"I forgot to have breakfast once and had to have the Ryanair ‘sandwich of the month’ Is that the one that's been there a month that looks dry and past it's best ?" I was once on a flight where the steward was on his last day in the job. His announcement over the tannoy was.. ‘Shortly I’ll be coming down the aisle to give you the opportunity to buy a range of hot and cold drinks and snacks. Including our “sandwich of the month”, which this month is ham and cheese, as it has been for the last 4 years that I’ve worked for this airline’ | |||

" Yes, I've got some really nice slides of Kiev and her escorts in the North Sea. I assumed it would be all high tech shit (even for 1982), but they just pulled in a window and shot through the gap! Luckily I had taken my own camera. | |||
