If they announce your flight will be delayed for eight hours for mechanical reasons you could hope someone like Keith Lomax is on board.

They were making a big thing of this a week ago but it seems a very minor thing the media had to inflate

A little more exposure for our profession don't hurt now and again.

No.. the engineer remained anonymous (I bet he's chuffed about that too)
Nice story though.. heard many similar such stories from the boys at Brooklands ;-)

Oops!
You are right. Keith Lomax was a passenger on the flight and not the engineer. Seems like the older I get, the slower I need to read to get the details right.
