There was a Sabena 707 at Entebbe offering an ad-hoc charter to London for £200k - that's £1,000 each. Pictured in an old Flight. Wonder if they got a load. The onetime Belgian colonies of Rwanda and Burundi border Uganda to the south, where Sabena was the dominant carrier to Europe.

I had a business customer who was the finance director of a major company in London, who had arrived in the same manner, had got a place at university and did very well on from there, starting from nothing.
