Recall flying Dan Air DC3 Bristol to Liverpool. Oil from the starboard engine was squirting like rain drops across the Windows. We had a first time flier marine engineer with us who after awhile decided to hit the bell. The hostess asked what he rang for and he pointed to oil steaming along his window. "Don't worry sir it always does that." He replied. "Ye nae foolin me lassie, I'm an engineer. Away and tell the pilot." This she did, we landed safely, but those passenger continuing on to Newcastle had to change planes to a Dan Air Vanguard, which was not the original plan. Never saw our engineer again but often wondered if he took to flying,as he swore that was his last flight.
