Great thread and I concur with all posts. I was in ops from '68-'71. Cally crewing, BUA Traffic, Moretons..Sponsored by BKS/ Northeast and flew the T1e. but merged seniority and awful BEA SOP's led me on to Laker and Air Europe. Aware of all the past and no Trident ladies..
Cyprus did have the T1E but a very masculine society up to today. You won't even see them driving taxis or busses , let alone planes.
IN GF, rostered to fly with one(and only, I think) on the 76. VERY attracxtive, French. Had me mumbling like a freak as I asked her, nervously, if she would like to "Fly us hair, I mean bare I mean there," etc. Had to be asked twice for everything, missed radio calls.....oh dear..Hotac drinks in the bar saw me splill me jack&coke and she was whisked away by my trendy ,far too good- looking Head of the Cabin, fortunately ALL male. went to bed & watched "Air Crash Investigations". Marve !
