What was the first airliner you flew in?

Interesting looking at that - my mind says we stopped at Entebbe once, and that I flew on a BOAC Standard and East African Super VC-10s on the first trips there and back. Must have been East African and Entebbe on the way home in 1971 perhaps, I know I had my Junior Jet Club Log Book when I flew on a Air Taxi Cherokee Six in 1970, cos our Captain, Pat Innocent, carefully completed the log for each of the four legs we did! How I wish that little book hadn't been lost at some point after final return to the UK (BOAC 747 Heathrow/Nairobi 1971, Swissair DC-8 Nairobi/Zurich and a Cv990 back to LHR 1972) as a various light aircraft trips had been recorded, mostly by my dad but there were several that got away.
