FRANK TINSDALE, the Magirus Deutz British md, got a mild shock last week at about 30,000ft He was making one of his not irregular trips to West Germany, this time accompanying his 150 British dealers.
There he was, sitting quietly aboard a Boeing 707 on the British Airways tours flight and quietly running through his plans so that everyone would enjoy and benefit from the three-day visit.
His thoughts were interrupted by a stewardess offering him a glass of champagne. That was the shock, because the young lady dispensing the liquid was Frank's daughter.
Valerie Ann is a member of British Airways cabin crew, but as far as Frank knew she would normally have been on a run to Barbados.
No doubt when he pops abroad on one of his "commuterflights from now on he'll be keeping a weather eye open for his far travelled offspring.
