"Been and Gone: Bagpipes to baseball"

"When terrorists from the Palestinian Black September movement seized a Belgian airliner in 1972 they were not to know that the plane was captained by a decorated former RAF bomber pilot, Reginald Levy.

The crew transmitted a coded message to alert the authorities and Levy flew as slowly as possible to give those on the ground time to prepare for the landing."
