They played 'Skylarking' by XTC and 'Back in the High Life' by Stevie Winwood on the flight back from LAX to LGW, which helped make up for them losing my luggage, fortunately only temporarily. These have been two of my favourite albums ever since. Some of us may be old enough to remember when the music was piped into your ears on 747s via acoustic tubes, and there was one screen at the front of business class which showed a film that no-one watched, but was projected by three CRT tubes, red green and blue, a marvel of technology in the day.
Not BCal, but I do remember the single screen at the front of the cabin, with the projector and the hideous acoustic earbuds.
I was on a flight like that, not watching the movie, but reading or (less likely) working, when half the cabin started laughing. I looked up and Mr. Bean was on. Truly International humour (or humor...).
