I very seldom post but could not resist this thread. I used to fly regularly to NQ once a month and my favourite flight was the Sunday morning honeymoon special out of BNE for Proserpine/TV/and points in between TV and CNS.
I used to request row 10 seats and sat back and received exceptional services from the hostesses (as they used to be called in those days). The remainder of the passengers were generally starry eyed on the second day of married life en route to the Barrier Reef islands on honey moon. The furtherest thoughts from their minds was lunch and numerous cool beers.
Life is much more different now with a meal tray thrown down in front of you and woe betide you if it hasn't been cleaned up within 10 minutes - whipped out from under your hand and placed back in hte trolley in preparation for descent
An earlier post referred to Capt. Rex who left the pin in the nose wheel. Flew many a trip with him on the BDB-BNE route when I was a young lad.
