The Alan Reeves Gallery - Part 2
The following photos were kindly submitted by Alan Reeves,
and I am pleased to be able to show them here, many thanks Alan.
Pic No 1
Phil Baker on the left, Norman Beal on the right. The crewmember standing in the doorway is Capt Rex Cotterill no less! The handlebar moustache is a giveaway! (many thanks to Ricky Cuss for identifying Capt. Rex for us)
Pic No 2
The picture is the BCal 707 aircraft just before we boarded the Queen. Georgie Banks had flown down to prepare the food for the flight back. The two ladies were the very blond Ross, now somewhere in Canada and forgive me I cannot remember the other young lady for which I will be crucified. Read some more on this photo here
Pic No 3
The Queen waving farewell to me, Siddy Botam strolling up the steps and Georgy boy at the bottom and to his left 'Kingsize Mumba' who did the catering for us in LUN
Pic No 4
This was the early days of DXB, probably 81, and the annual raft race. I am on the left and the chap hanging of the back is Peter Van Driesal who was the sales manager. These days you cannot get near the water unless you go to a club or hotel complex, then I could walk a hundred yards from my house and go for a swim. The event was big but I got into trouble, as I remember, by being a bit 'verbal' in encouraging my rowers to do better. Things dont change.
Pic No 5
Here is me being caught borrowing one of the two Kombis crew buses's we had in LUN. We were on our way to Livingstone and the falls but had a blow out... The vehicles were maintained by Reg Eames whose daughter worked for me at the airport. He eventually returned to England after 40 years and lives in East Grinstead. Linda eventually went to Canada where she works in marketing for Bombardier.
Pic No 6
Me and my Mini Traveller that was a late addition during a 6 month stay in Karachi. The poor thing was left behind by whoever replaced me and lay there for years during which Cally left because of the war between India and Pakistan.
