Terrific replies and nice to know the topic evokes such brilliant memories.
Whoever mentioned age SSK - I was first carried on a Britannia at the age of 11 months, or so I'm told! Must confess, it's about the only flight I do not remember.
But hey, memory gathering pace today, we did not end up in Idlewild on that delivery flight, but Newark and sadly I recall looking out of the Greyhound bus at the N.Y. skyline. Plane went on down to B. Aires.
Great to see some replies from you guys strapped into the r/h seat, let alone the left.
So come on, who is going to spoil the Hermes, Rapide, Britannia, Viscount, Vanguard, 1-11 and VC.10 et other memories and declare that they think it might have been in an SST

Feather#3 - did you ever drink in a pub somewhere near the Gloucester Rd. in the early 70's with some expats from SIA?
