Oct '62.
Only a short flight, but for the married for 4 months Mrs 16th, it was her 1st flight and 1st time out of the UK. A BUA Brittania, for an overnight flight Stanstead to RAF Nicosia.
It immediatly killed off all preconceptions of the glamour of the 'jet set' and even she thought that the airbourne waitress' were somewhat dowdy.
Me? I didn't think that it was too bad, definitly better than a Transport Command Beverley
