I am reminded of the phrase 'those were the days my friend I thought they would never end'!! However people all over the world still remember and hold Eagle with much affection from all the correspondence I receive at the Eagle Archive desk
A lifetime ago but remember the day like yesterday. Still nothing but fond memories of my time at British Eagle.
