I remember in 1971 or 1972 landing a Vulcan in Nairobi. We parked up and were doing what we had to do to put the thing to bed when this enormous thing parked next to us. A 747. Never seen anything dwarf a Vulcan like it did. The we realised that they were on a proving flight and only crew on board. Some gorgeous girls got off, obviously struggling with the Captain's luggage because he got off with a small folder under his arm and disappeared off to the hotel. Envy doesn't even get close.
