The Golden Temple

My other half (Purser Paula) says certainly BOAC went into Rangoon. When she was an 'A' Lady on 707s she remembers being on the flight deck in a poor weather approach and the Captain asking all present to try and spot 'The Golden Temple' to establish their position! The CC were told never to uplift any food or water from Rangoon - definitely not safe.

I remember that DJ in Sydney announcing one morning "Right Folks Ive got some shokkin' news about the Pommie Eight Eight Late 'plane, it's just arrived on time! But don't get too excited Folks - it's not today's plane - it's yesterdays.....
