Re: Flying when you were a child
My first flight was on (I think) a Handley Page Herald in 1972.
Dad thought it would be nice to go on holiday in Guernsey, so we left from Bournemouth airport or Hurn as it was then. The aircraft's route was first to Jersey, then Guernsey. When we landed in Jersey, the people getting on were all suntanned and the weather was hot. We were excited.
But on arriving in Guernsey, it was foggy and cold. It remained that way for the duration of the holiday, so not one of the best apart from the flight.
I was not allowed to sit next to the window as it was an escape exit. I just wanted to see the wheels go up!
