I doubt the trade tickets were that much then, (allowing for inflation) as I was pretty broke at the time! But also keen. Talked my way onto the 757-300 demonstrator. ‘Are you aircrew?’ ‘Yes!’ ..well pretty much true. The A380 (then the Airbus XXX) was just a plywood cut-out on the far side of the field.
EDIT: Airbus 3XX, not XXX. Don’t google Airbus XXX at work, the results are… interesting.
