Early '50s (possibly 1951) in a Handley Page Hermes routeing: LHR - Rome - Cairo - Khartoum - Entebbe - Dar es Salaam.
Think the aircraft was named 'Heron' but can't find the reg at the moment.
In those days you dressed UP to go travelling......not DOWN!
Aaaaaah what a way to travel!

PS Although very young I clearly remember departing from the 'temporary' terminal near the Bath Road. Any pictures of those buildings on the net?
