The Brian Trubshaw autob has a super picture of a Royal Flight Viking at Ysterplaat with Table Mountain in the background, dated 1947
I am a child of the jet age (b1965) so assume that until the Comet turned up, most air journeys were quite a trek
I pick up and read Ernest K. Gann Fate is the Hunter every now and then to remind me how lucky we are to travel by air these days. A380 v Viking to JNB? A380 thank you.
