A fascinating look behind the scenes into BOAC ops in 1964 which may bring back some memories for some. It covers pretty much everything from buying the ticket onwards as far as I can see. One thing that surprised me was the aircraft's all-up weight being given in kilos. It seems that metrication has been around for a lot longer than I thought in some contexts.
