Probably right... my first flight at 2 months old in 1965 was on a Qantas Electra Mk IV from MEL to PER.
Right about First Class I meant, Mum and Dad tell me that First Class was down the back in the Constellations too... probably something to do with most of the noise being forward as opposed to rearward as is the case now with jet aircraft.
