Heathrow - Your first flight

re Chiglet post #3: Paya Lebar and LHR

I think Paya Lebar was correct for Singapore in 1964. Changi came a bit later. I flew Zurich-Athens-Bahrain-Colombo-Paya Labar with Singapore Airlines in October 1974 in 707 9Q-BBB then on to Sydney in 9V-BEX, then back a few days later in BBB again and BEW. Captains were Kanga (?) and Freeman.
My first from Heathrow was 18 December 1966 in BEA Trident G-ARPP, then back in January 1967 in RPD (Capt Bell). My son was 2 months old and we wanted to show him to his grandmother in France!
