BAAS Halifax arriving at Ringway from its Thame base to pick up 8 tons of newspapers. It will then try to get airborne in the available 4200 ft of the main Runway 24, just hopping over the hedge at the far end, bound for Nutts Corner, Belfast. Its performance made an exciting change from the omnipresent Dakotas on schedules!
