Very nice Dan.Tthat brings back memories.
Used to be a couple which plied back and forward carrying cars (including mine) from Jersey to Ringwood airport.
Pilots sat up very high they climbed a ladder to get up to their cockpit. From memory they only took 4 cars.
we sat in the lounge just above the cars.
One return trip. We were at Ringwood (Bournemouth) airport and there was a delay.
Found out the Pilot and Co Pilot had refused to take the craft. A number of Jersey Cows had been transported
on the previous flight. They refused to touch the aircraft until the "stink" had been eliminated. Wow disinfectant
when we got on was worse than the smell of the cows.
Another time they lost a pilot. He had times mixed up and was in the cafe having his bacon and eggs.
