British Eagle (my first flight in 1964)
with their wonderful names for their Britannia's like Trojan, Bounteous, and Good Fortune. or their 1-11's Serene Swift Superb!
and the skipper sending round in flight the progress slip of the voyage that you passed back to the passengers behind you, how lovely to have that now!
