Dragon Rapide at Prestwick, 1958. Ten bob for 10 minutes, saved up for weeks and paid for it myself. Took a black and white snapshot of the a/c which still lives in my logbook on the "aircraft in which flown" page. I see it's £140 for a 40 minute flight from Duxford now which I reckon on a cost per minute is 70 times the 1957 price. It was either a bargain then or a rip-off now!
