Now in my mid 60s. When a small boy I can remember going on holiday in a Bristol Freighter (maybe Super, no idea), probably Silver City Airways, to France...with the family car. Probably Lydd or Southend to either Calais or Ostend. More than one trip. I pointed out to the Stewardess than the undercarriage was still down (as it would be) so one of the pilots came back to explain and then invited me cockpit visit. In Ostend every bar was playing "The House of the Rising Sun" (Eric Burdon & the Animals). I ate a whole half chicken. Good grief I must be getting old, sorry.

Also a trip to Alderney in a DH Heron or Dove. Can't remember from where we departed...Hurn??
