I am so glad to be part of the Dan Air Remembered Website. I've had a good look around and its great. Here are some snippets about me: I joined Dan Air in 1977 aged 20. I reluctantly left in 1988 as I had 2 children by then and became a stay at home mum until the youngest started school. Then got a job in a local College where I've been for 20 years! When I joined I was Denise BOOTH, I married 3 years later and became BRAY. With Dan Air I worked on BAC 1-11 and Boeing 727 at London Gatwick. I Shared a house near Haywards Heath with Frankie Cutbush (now Frankie GAIR). We were also friends with Bev Whyatt (now Bev MARTIN), Jane CORROYER and Hilary Fulton. I particularly remember the week long trips we did on the 727 to Eilat, Israel because I'm a scuba diver so I used to take my husband on the flight with me then we would have a great week diving in the Red Sea, then a quick wash and brush up in time to operate the inbound flight with the passengers we had met on the dive boats! My daughter is now working for BA at LGW and often meets ex Dan Air stewardesses who are now BA who remember working with her mum! Looking back I wish I had never left, Dan Air was like a great big family and its fantastic that the summer reunions still happen and so many of us are still in touch. We worked very hard, particularly in the Summer and always found time (even on a short flight) to fit in an extra drinks round to earn a bit of "totting money" like Viv Jensen told you about in her interview! I cant believe that at the end of every flight and when the passengers had gone, out came the landing drinks and we all had a jolly old time then got in our cars and drove home! Those were the days ... :) Adam, I hope these memories are of use to you, I will have a look round for any mementos to photograph and send them on to you.
