I remember a flight from London to Muscat on BA. There were just a few of us up in First Class. The Stews gave us great service as there were more of them than us that day. It was a great flight on a magnificent beast of an aircraft. Good Flight! I miss those days! The Cognac was also good.
I also flew from London to Cairo frequently on BA’s VC10s, yes I am old. It was a fuel burning bastard but built like a brick sh-t house. It was old technology but an eloquent aircraft. I rather liked it.
