BA are marking the special occassion by dressing two crewmembers on the BA117 today (04 OCT, 0855 departure) in the original uniform of the period
I'm surprised that the original Comet
stewardesses aren't still flying with ba!
A pity that, unlike other airlines celebrating their past history, ba didn't repaint an aircraft in original BOAC colours.
As a lad, the 'Comet 4 v. Boeing 707' race was of great fascination to my fellow air-minded prep school chums and I! It was a great moment when BOAC won it!
