Interesting day at work today!

As a big metal fan and a follower of Iron Maiden I can't believe I didn't recognise him. I get to meet and shake hands with one of the most legendary rock/metal stars ever and I don't even realise it. I'm gutted now as he was gone by the time I got back.

Oh well!

that is a long gap for a thread bump...

still it seems he's been up to rather a lot as a Pilot since that meeting with the OP:

Wikipedia said:
His role as a pilot has led to some high-profile flights, which include returning a group of British RAF pilots from Afghanistan in 2008,[131] 200 UK citizens from Lebanon during the Israel/Hezbollah conflict in 2006,[132] and 180 stranded holiday makers from Egypt following the collapse of XL Airways UK in September 2008.[133] In addition, he flew Rangers F.C. and Liverpool F.C. to away matches in Israel and Italy in 2007 and 2010 respectively.[134] For the 2008–2009 "Somewhere Back in Time World Tour," he piloted Iron Maiden's chartered Boeing 757, dubbed "Ed Force One", specially converted to carry the band's equipment between continents,[67] which subsequently led to a documentary film, Iron Maiden: Flight 666.[135] Dickinson flew "Ed Force One" again for "The Final Frontier World Tour" in 2011.[136] For the 2016 The Book of Souls World Tour, the band upgraded to a Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet, which meant that Dickinson had to undertake type conversion in order to fly the aircraft.[77]
 
Don't know who he is, but someone mentioned tea, and somehow I was drawn to this thread and I couldn't figure out why until I saw tea.
