What bad timing - I saw her twice this week but only from the air, didn't even have a sniff that something was going on. She did look nice though, much more appealing than the A321 I was in.

Maybe it's time for replacing the running banner requesting funds on the front page of CBFS then?

Just a thought...

Nice Tribute.

This is her in the foreground in 1985 onboard G-AWZU. The rest of the crew are wearing the then-current BA uniform.

Toby,

Just for the record, the Captain in that picture is Captain Brian Walsh. He was a Training Captain and I flew 18 Line Training sorties with him when I was on my Command Course on the Vanguard/Merchantman in September 1973.

Not only that, but the photo proves that Jeppessen was already a megalith of terribly taxing and constant updates even back then...

Wonder if Jeppessen uses that photo in any advertising -

"When the last Trident was delivered, Jeppessen Charts helped get it to the right airport."

...and that was the last time Jep charts were used for the whole of its service

Leif,

There were a bag of Aerad charts in there somewhere...But we used fresh Company Plogs picked up at briefing for each trip. I never used a real map or chart in the 22 years with the company

amazing that - We are just getting to that with our keen little "electronic Flight Bags" I still get calls from crews that they dont have the plates for the ILS at xyz because the last crew didnt put them back in the Jeppbook.
