My supernumerary flight as BEA cabin crew was on a Viscount to Jersey. The start of 40 years which took me on to Trident, then BOAC 707, VC10, Tristar, DC10, 747, 767/757, 777.
I remember well a flight from Aberdeen to LHR on a Viscount where flight and cabin crew had bought wooden cases of kippers which were stowed on the flight deck. The smell is with me today!
