Thought they had all gone. Used to see them at northolt in the early 80's when they did a run to germany.
They did have a wo pilot and a sqn ldr who was the biggest pilot i've ever seen. He must have been over 6ft 6 and 20 stone.
The in flight catering was a box with 2 flasks and sandwiches. We sometimes had to weigh the passengers. Alos who ever had the warmest jacket was asked to sit next to the door.
A pilot did say one day when going into a really strong headwind they were matched for speed and overtaken by a ferry!
