G'day there all!
Just thought I would share some old stuff.
Back in 1972 (I was a baby) my family travelled to England due to my father's work. Returning in 1973. Many years later (now) I have a lot of interest in flying and have been rebuilding my own history of flying.
A couple of days ago I visited my parents for a cuppa. They are elderly and live on the coast in SE Qld. They could be accused of a bit of "hoarding" - they travelled a fair bit and have bits and pieces from their travels. Anyway, I remembered to ask them about that trip to England - I wanted to know what sort of plane it was on - I thought that it was Monarch Airlines, but apart from that was unsure of details.
Despite being a bit elderly , when I asked them about the flight they were quick to respond, declaring it was indeed on Monarch Airlines, and that it was on a Bristol Britannia. I must have appeared uncertain at their recollection, because suddenly my mother jumped up and disappeared into the house. She returned a few moments later with a small card.....
