Me misty too.

Entered Australia 1 March 1967 on the F27 out of Baucau. First real steak for six months, and the hostess offered me a second one!

Couple of years later out of Blackall in summer time. Pilot was sitting on a box in the shade of the wing asking people what they weighed. My wife added a couple of stone and said as we boarded "Those women in front lied". I think we cleared the three strand fence because the main gear had just started to retract.
