Love the pictures and fully agree the original colour scheme took some beating.
I did see Mt Fuji when on a N Pacific trainer in '69 but had given up taking pictures from the Herc' after a couple of self-made cock-ups. At Saigon I took about a dozen shots from the a/c before the skipper, John Cheshire , bollo**ed me. Then found I had forgotten to wind the film on!
Then on a Kathmandu trip, we flew right up close to Everest, I took a few snaps and on processing found that the flap of the camera case had obscured half the frame! At least, by way of compensation, I became a Dad that day
.
Very same off-spring when on a Tokyo trip with Virgin, about 5 years ago, led a group from the crew up Mt Fuji.
When were the astrodromes removed from the aircraft?
