"Crewmeal",
That daylight VC10 flight from JFK to LHR was the last leg of a journey from the south Pacific; the aircraft would leave Los Angeles the previous evening for the five hour flight to New York.
I remember how quiet the newly-opened BOAC terminal at JFK was at that time of the day (Air Canada was the only other major resident, before it moved flights to La Guardia).
The sight of the VC10 through the angled terminal window was magnificent. Does anyone have a photo to hand of a VC10 at what is now Terminal 7?
