Re: Dan at Man
We did too it came and went and although supposed to go and see it 'twas often missed.
Thanks for that *Ibbie* many memories there.
Including the best and worst equipped 727-200s HVT and MLP
One of the two ex Kuwait 4Cs no expense spared on them.
And 1992, I was acquainted with SM since 1972 but she left in 90 to pursue another career, we re-met at the end of Dan piss up and have been together ever since.

Re: Dan at Man
Just been checking with SM and it seems it happened twice, the first was in the Comet era, the habit was started by SEO Prescott (brother of egg) the airport repaired it and it happened again.

Re: Dan at Man
Had a few beers or three with Mr Prescott here and there. I'm pretty sure the second 'structural collapse' happened after I had joined which was late '87.
