Usually London Beirut Jeddah Aden on MEA (changing at Beirut). I once remember London Frankfurt Rome Cairo Asmara Aden . This was on United Arab Airlines (changing at Cairo). It took forever !
The good old 'Lollipop Specials'! I'm not quite sure, but I think the Comet. I definitely remember at least one flight on a VC10.
(I just typed 'fight on a VC10' - luckily I noticed the typo!!)
Yes, the VC10 was brilliant. As an adult I ended up on Concorde, this from a child who was rubbish at school. My teachers who told me so...flew economy.....they lacked the imagination of this child to fly high.
Hi Cathy,
Yes, the VC10 was a wonderful aircraft. Sadly I never had the opportunity to fly on a Concorde, but imagine it must have been a fantastic experience!
My father Fred Collinson took this cine film which my cousin has kindly put on to YouTube. There are notes with the video.
I have memories of Rome airport and Khartoum.
