Back in 1960, used to flog the Hastings back and forth from Changi to Kai Tak. We often staged through Saigon outbound, as we needed to carry div fuel from Hong Kong to the Phillipines. Invariably we were parked next to a Boeing 307 of Air Laos (I believe they even had two!). Always thought it interesting as it looked smaller than than the HP product we were flying but never bothered to take a pic leave alone have a look inside! I guess I didn't have the same sense of history in those days - too keen on rushing to the fleshpots of HK!
