first flight 1964 British eagle Britannia to Barcelona for our first our package holiday, followed by PMI RMI and AGP until b/eagle went bust in 1968
seats often all faced backwards... always went from LAP (LHR)

my first jet was Caledonian 707-320C G-AWWD summer 1969 LGW to PMI
goodness! this was a cracker, it was huge for me..(age 12)
rolling take off after turning fast onto runway at LGW and a flying time of 1hour 35 mins!
back on G-AVKD flagship Bonnie Scotland
PMI airport on the way home saw so many new charter jets from all over.

1970 Caledonian 1-11 500 G-AWWZ to PMI. (G-AXYD home i think)
