Flight Time to America 1954
When on sentry duty at Windsor Castle in the fifties up on the ramparts on clear nights one could see the lights of LHR & here the the piston engines growling as A/C taxied out for take off not very many of course perhaps two or three an hour the time being around midnight or the early hours,one A/C sticks in my memory the Stratocruiser it would pass the Castle at 3000 or 4000 feet heading due west they were well loaded & climbing very slowly I assumed they were going non stop too the USA. If they were re-fueling at Shannon would they be so heavy passing over Windsor? And so to my Question flight time too America in the early fifties.
