Reaward facing seats - RAF Brits
Here's what they looked like in RAF service (from a Bristol Aircraft brochure handed out at the 1961 Paris Air Show where I was with the RAF Brit on static display). And to think that way back in the early 1960's the standard seat-pitch in RAF Brits was 38-inches, reduced to 36-inches for max pax configuration.

"On the 8th, it went LGW - Aden in 6hrs 55mins"
That's fast. My logbook shows we took an average of around 5½ hours from Lyneham - El Adem plus a further 6-hours or more from El Adem to Aden.
