First time I ever flew in anything was on a family holiday in 1958 (IIRC). Car (a Ford Consul or Zephyr) and family in a Bristol Freighter (Silver City) from Lydd to Le Touquet. I think it took 3 cars in all.
And we were by no means well-to-do! Dad was a shopkeeper and we lived over the shop ..... upper working class fits well! Dad had just got too p!ssed off with the UK weather!
The only other detail I remember exactly was that the aircraft was "Quatorze Juillet", which was the same airframe as my Airfix model....
....... Dad was a keen photographer, so I may be able to dig out some pictures - I'm sure he would have taken some.
