BOAC Comet
When I was 2 years old my Dad was posted to Montevideo and we all moved over on the SS Highland Brigade. 1 or 2 years later, according to my parents, we flew back to England for a holiday on a BOAC Comet, this would have been 1957 or 1958. I can remember a flight on a small propeller plane and the flight in a big jet airliner. Perhaps we took a plane from Carrasco to Rio and thence back to London.
Just curiosity, but does anyone know if this sounds right, and if so, would the Comet flight have been direct to London or stopping along the way?
Incidentally, we sailed back to Montevideo on the Blue Star liner Argentina Star, then moved back to UK sailing on the Louis Lumiere and returning to a unheated summer house on the south coast in the winter of 62/63, that was a real shock!
