Ahh, Ksimboy,
Those were the days, I'm sure as well as the Comet, you might have spotted a Britannia too, in those days most aircraft flew at Albert type speeds
Its definately a claim to fame for a Loadie to go for the "I stayed awake across the pond" award though, and worthy of praise indeed. Although I do remember coming back direct from IAD with Gibbo (RIP) and a trainee lady Loadie, with an empty, flat floor aircraft. I managed to connect his MP3 player into the PA system and we had a bit of a disco down the back. Thankfully, the bar remained firmly closed.
Meanwhile a shot from MPN, not mine unfortunately, but Pete Butt is OK with it.
