Excuse my ignorance, but what is an ACE 767?

767RR. I believe in the earlier days they were mostly known as ACE 767s, which stuck with me.

ACE comes from the galley (or was it IFE?) fitted to these aircraft, and is a term the Cabin Crew still use occasionally.

It was something to do with the BA galleys on the aircraft

[NickN]

BA specific gallies had tea cozy hangers and tea pot holders

And the IFE was a voice recorder where whiney poms could whinge while in-flight

Alas, QF editions don't feature stubbie holders or Kevin Bloody Wilson for IFE. Shame!

I thought ACE stood for Always Calling Engineering?
