David and Robyn Grigg's departure from Adelaide

 

Scenes in the airport departure lounge
Saturday 28th October 2000....

waiting for QF599 departing at 1300
(from gate 11)

... they only just made it too...

 

 

Three or four of us gathered by the cappuccino bar
just inside from the security scanner
and ages before the flight was due.

Guess what? no sign of the Griggs -
until about twelve minutes before the flight was due to leave!

We see Robyn talking on the sterile side of the scanner
while David is in line (somewhere) struggling through from the other side !

No guesses as to who was last up the stairs into the aircraft!
Well, actually they were ALMOST last
