Monarch ETOPS 757s: G-MONB, G-MONE, G-MONJ, G-MONK, G-DAJB and G-MCKE.

I think it was a standard config of 179Y, which is one seat less than they cram into an A320 these days, although at the end I see Monarch had reduced it to 174Y.

G-BCBA and G-BCBB were Boeing 720-023Bs, inherited from Invicta and passed on to Maof. I flew both of them with Monarch, and had to do a half day differences course in order to do so.

The lady on the right is sporting the bog-standard bouffant hairdo of that era. My BOAC girlfriend had one of those too. It was rather silly of me to remark that her uniform forage cap perched...
