Thanks for setting me straight on that, ColinB ! Now I get it: she played Honey's daughter, not the stewardess. Ah, Glynis Johns, what a nice lady.

Thanks, NutherA2. Miss Dietrich wasn't always as understanding.

Been doing some belated Googling, and see that David Beaty's name only has one "t". (The fact that my gaffe is already accessible via the search engine is making me paranoid.)
Evidently he had left BOAC, to pursue writing, some time before his Cone of Silence (novel) was published.

Notwithstanding AF447 (and, perhaps, BA038?), there are fewer mysteries in civil aviation these days than in the 'Fifties. And the fastest aeroplanes are scarcely any faster.
