Corfu Flight Board / Re: Summer chaos at UK airports
« Last post by angiem on March 20, 2024, 05:41:12 PM »Talking about airport security reminded me of my first ever visit to Corfu (1972?).
Back then, as you can imagine, it was a fraction of the size it is now.
We were sat on a wall outside, waiting in 'departure' and watching the plane's, when suddenly a chap came running past us, carrying a holdall, onto the tarmac , waving his arms, and ran towards a plane that was heading for the runway.
The plane stopped.
Some lads went running after him - with steps.
The plane door opened, and he got on.
Can't see that happening today somehow lol.
