Flying Home
My lame offering for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "Flying". SO many photos - and this was all I could find for the theme!
I took this out the window while flying home, London to New York, from my first visit back to England at 18 years old, May, 1972.
Those were the days of flying! Enormous planes, half empty planes, and several great meals.
This plane (whatever it was), had three rows of seating. 4 chairs on one side, 8 chairs in the middle and then 3 chairs on the other side. So, 15 chairs across. That's my memory - can that be right?
What a contrast to today's flights - although I'm sure it's far more pleasant for the flight crew not having to serve full meals.

As part of a series of fundraising talks, at our local church, we have just had one by John Hutchinson, one of the pilots of Concorde. They had top of the range cuisine and fine wines. At one point the pilots were part of a package deal on which you could travel one way on Concorde and the other way on the Queen Elizabeth II liner. They flew Concorde one way and then traveled back on QEII giving lectures to several groups of passengers during the voyage.
I am giving the next talk, more a slideshow, of my stained glass safaris or should that be pilgrimages, as most of the windows are in churches or cathedrals, over the last year. I must stop spending so much time in this website and get on sorting my photos and adding some text!!
Are you still getting ready for your presentation - or did you give it already?
Phil Sutters club has replied to Deborah Lundbech clubI would have really loved to have done the trip Phil mentioned though - Concorde out, Queen Elizabeth back!
I do remember some excitement about what we were flying on, and the luxury of the flight - but perhaps a plane expert might have some ideas about what it really was..
Phil Sutters club has replied to Deborah Lundbech clubGuess it must have been a 747 - and much less wide than my recollection!
Good luck with your talk - glad you'll be healthy for it!
