Oh and BTW the F/O pilot (to the left of the captain) is also a WWII vet - he also has his bars below his wings...Nearly all the captains and F/Os were WWII vets in those days (F/Os to until the first graduates started getting churned out of the then new Hamble College of Air Training)...

God, it's amazing how things have changed in the modern crew environment...you'd NEVER find all that now lol (an obviously stern Captain whose addressed as 'sir' etc! The captain is a WWII vet - notice all his military bars below his wings? You've got to LOVE the formal register in which they spoke back then though lol, 'BTW Neirv, check the beacon cross at 31 tharrsand ft will yoou - jarst incase 35 tharrsand is an-available to arz...' (Mis-spelt for emphasis btw!) BRILLIANT stuff! ;-))
