I’m not allowed to post pictures on here , but I regularly have to stop a wait for aircraft to taxi at Heathrow . It’s kinda cool when the captain gives you a salute whilst pushing back on/off a stand because you had to wait .
Hiya …a chap who worked at the same company as me pulled across a street to reverse into a yard,
as he went backwards a chap in a van pulled across the gate, driver said i’am going into the yard.
the van driver said i’ll be two mins(we’ve all herd that one)anyhow after two mins our driver poped the
lorry into reverse and got into the yard in one…as he did the van went sideway and was squashed
against a wall of sleepers holding back aggerate. the van driver was,nt happy, our driver said i waited two
minutes and thought you’d gone…i’ll bet the van driver dos’nt do that again.
the driver told our transport manager he’d clipped a van by mistake. i delivered the week after, the yard
man told me what had happened. he said the lorry did’nt give a hoot he’d waited two minutes and that was fair.
the van driver only wanted a roll of ducktape and could have parked anywhere.but did,nt want to walk.
