I rode on this 727 in the summer of 1968, Gatwick to Vancouver with a fuel stop at Sondrestrom, Greenland (aka Kangerlussuaq or Bluie West Eight). Wardair loaded very pleasant catering on these charters and became known for it, along with crews to match. The same crew operated right through, London to Vancouver.

Paxed last December on BA nonstop London to Vancouver, looking at the moving map as we approached the Greenland west coast there were just a couple of pale lights way down there, which brought the memories back.
