Quite a few years ago (1992) - aboard a BA 747-400 LHR to Tokyo. Talking to the CSD about Japan, whilst trying (badly) to use chopsticks for the first time. "You need a fork and spoon", he said. Right. I purloined a BA set. Best thing I did. Japan was (is) fantastic, even better with a BA fork & spoon !!!! I still have them.
Flew United Narita to Hong Kong, frightening / brilliant landing at Kai Tak.
Then BA (028) back home. 15 hours of pitch black boredom.
Fantastic days.
