Yet more nostalgia. Almost too much!

I did a lot of flying in Brits too, starting with the long haul to
Singapore when I was a teenager. That was in 1963 with British United
Airways, though, not BOAC. I pinched a stainless steel fork from my
meal tray with its BUA badge - my early life of crime. That fork is
still giving sterling service in my kitchen drawer even now!

Later on in the RAF I learned that, beautiful aircraft
notwithstanding, when they went wrong, they went very wrong indeed,
necessitating at least a 4 day delay. Normally somewhere like Nassau!

Were most of the bits that had fallen off, photographed then printed out
big scale and hung on the wall in Air Cargo mostly Brit ? :-)
