My father used to do a fair bit of singing work for British Caledonian and I was wondering if any of the lads here were in the band back in the B-Cal days. My name is John Mallan and my father is Peter Mallan and I did one gig playing the fiddle in Dallas Fort Worth along with my father and the pipe band. I will always remember the experience and the lads marking time as we marched into the airport, the highlanders had arrived and the lion roared. Best wishes, John.
