Philip Hayton might advise against trying that

Hmm, has anyone managed to spot the difference between Natasha Kaplinsky and Kate Silverton yet? And if they are really clones, does this mean that Ive outfoxed speedbird's aliens and won a prize? (A prize that isnt mating with Kate Silverton, if thats OK)

With the ever increasing growth of McLeland Field, Peter, I think a regular freight service from Europe to the Far East on the Polar Route could bring enormous benefits. Think Harrod's hampers from London and fine wines from the Bordeaux. In the other direction it could drop off cheap labour from the Phillipines and fake Rolexes from Taiwan

Brilliant shots, Peter. Papa Bravo looks as though she really belongs at McLeland Field. I wouldn't worry about a little bounce on landing. They didn't appreciate the British art of flaring and settling on to the tarmac. A 707 Captain once explained the secret to me. They need to be flown on to the runway - what he called a 'positive' landing. He reckoned if you kissed the tarmac you'd done it wrong

(If I close my eyes I can still hear the crashing of crockery in the galley

)

Papa Bravo was the first freighter I flew in and it took me to Bangkok in 1973 and I shall draw a veil over the rest of that story. BOAC freighters carried one steward (always male) whose responsibilities included paperwork, ordering food, cooking crew meals and keeping the duty free bar topped up with grog and ciggys to sell to the pilots :roll:

I'm very very pleased that you've chosen her as a regular visitor - she looks magnificent with the graphics on your system.

I'm pleased that you liked my shots of her Ian

My first command was on the Merchantman freighter in BEA...I'm afraid we did not have the luxury of a steward though...The meals were pre-cooked but of First Class standard and P3 did the serving

I don't remember, but as I hadn't been First Class trained in those days I'm sure the meals weren't of that standard by the time I'd finished with them! In fact the pilots always got me to order curries. I though it was because they liked them. I realise now that it was because I couldn't completely ruin them

BTW Peter there's a PM for you.
