Can't remember what the salary was in 1974 - about £1800pa as a Plt Off?
But a brand new MGB cost £1300 - and a 3 bed semi in a village Lincoln cost around £12000.....
As an APO at University, I received about £1200pa and flew about 40 hours per year. I understand today's bursers get about £1000pa....and fly about 10 hours per year. I bet they DO wish they were back in them days at times.....
