When in uni we went to St Athan to see the Vulcan servicing schedule. No Vulcan there but the computer print out of the crtical path based schedule used a small tree for the paper print out! When we got there they had gone into an alert. Bikini alert I think. A WAF was our driver in a minibus. Manual but I think she didn’t know what the clutch pedal was for! Crash changes every time. The workshops were spotless.
As for the 747.....our last flight in one was in 2002. SA Airways Heathrow to Cape Town. Best flight we have had. The first time in a747 it seemed huge inside compared to a “normal” plane.
