How long before this guy is sacked and sent back to the nearest pub?

Seriously, he better not travel much: he is a National embarrassment.

Or he can refurbish a VC-10

It's still flying with BA; one of the G-YMM* lot.

What wiring modifications has it got?
Not sure the royals would want a YMM now, the current cabin has had it and they will be 10Y shortly haha.
