Court Line memories
First ever jet flight was on Court Line in 1970 BHX - IBZ - BHX on B111. Remember the meals in the back of the seat well!
Also flew on the Tristar in 1973 on a day trip to the Paris Air Show from LTN organised by Ian Allan (Aircraft Illustrated). Aircraft was used for a demonstration flight during the day at Le Bourget and as part of the airshow. I recall on the flight back to LTN in the evening, a number of the FAs were unwell. I assumed at that this was due to the earlier demonstration flights where the Tristar (G-BAAA) was put through its paces.
Also recall that this aircraft had a number stencilled just aft of the flight deck windows indicating that it was part of the airshow.
