Storm Dudley/Eunice/Franklin

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

yeah me too around 1988? Went on board and in cockpit.....tiny. I was a baggage handler

Could have even been on the same aircraft at the same time. That was around the first time I ever flew on an aircraft. A BA positioning flight from Manchester to Glasgow on a BAC 1-11 (G-AVMN) Can't believe I still remember the tail number.

Who knows Eunice may even reach storm force winds? ! Lol. If it does it will be the first in England since the Met Office starting naming gales and severe gales as storms for dramatic effect and dumbing down our weather.

Still these weather warnings and named 'storms' give all the Local Authorities a better excuse to close everything in anticipation of the impending doomsday scenario. Back in the day we used to call it winter and just got on with it.

even I know that means you can't fly it - and my experience is limited to Airfix models around 45 years ago

I used to have a Flight Simulator programme on my computer and a "force feedback" joystick, and it had an Air France Concorde as one of the planes.
I took it out from CDG and did a couple of circuits,including a "touch and run" before landing it safely. A piece of piss!
Ted Striker has nothing on me!
