June 1953, from the old North Side: Heathrow - Tripoli - Kano - Accra. BOAC Canadair Argonaut G-ALHI 'Antares'. (Now do you get the GeorgeAbleLove bit?) Except the final phonetic should be Item, not India. Only my friend - and total Anorak - 'Discorde' has ever corrected me on it!

(arem must've been one of the first Hamble graduates to get into BOAC. BEA took all the ones from the first courses. Their arrival caused great excitement amongst the stewardesses. Up to then there had been a dearth of young pilots, just about the only 'eligible batchelor' being in his early forties, IIRC.)
