I flew on one of those! to IBZ in 1987. All female crew for cockpit visit… im sure they might even have been smoking! Mixed surly Spanish crew and some BY cabin crew. Meals were Britannia branded. Noisy, smokey, long stretched DC8. Departed and returned on time. I even have a grainy kodak instapic of said- DC8 on tarmac. Had no idea in those days that wasn’t the actual carrier we were supposed to be on. GLA also had a TransAer A320 for a summer in partial lease tail colours.
