Orion Airways may not be known to many on here, they were a charter airline from the 80's but were swallowed up by brittania sometime in the late 1980's early 1990's. Also on a flight to tenerife as a kid, it was with this airline that i got to sit with the pilots in the cockpit for close on 2 hours outbound from gatwick aboard a 737-200adv. On a 4 hour flight thats not bad! The captain gave me a packet of ready salted crisps.
It was at this point that i decided come what may i was going to be a pilot. Thats till the RAF discoverd i was slightly colour blind, just like my father. Thanks dad!
Anyway, enjoy some nostalgia..
Many thanks for looking 8-)
