Never a Budgie man. I don't think we are acquainted.

In that case we are probably not, except in BOAC.

Perhaps you knew her from Gatwick, Cardiff or Glasgow.

She was in atc at Gatwick and, after Kirkwall, a/the manager at Cardiff and Glasgow.

Then moved on to flying a desk in Holborn.

All the above, and Wick. Despite the username (whimsically allocated by Danny in TOP), never in BOAC.

Ah yes, she "learnt" the Kirkwall job, for a few weeks?, at Wick.

For whom did you fly in that part of the world?

Funnily enough we both went to St Kilda, for the day, 2/3 years back (St Kilda thread).

Wife didn't fancy a small boat that far from the mainland.
