They were getting tired but it’s still a sad day for us die-hard travel fans. The wife will never let me forget that she flew First on one while I never got past Club. So it’s Lufthansa for a 747-8 now as the last game in town.
Early 1970. Playing tennis in Hounslow with the occasional glance up at the LHR arrivals. But what's that . . . a strange, largish type approaching . . . stopped playing tennis to watch a BOAC B747 (the first?) floating past - a definite 'wow' moment.
Fifty years later - last Wednesday Mrs D and I arranged to meet our daughter at Kew Gardens for Xmas present exchange and takeaway al fresco lunch. Steady stream of arrivals into LHR but over a period of three hours or so . . . no B747s.
End of an era. Ho hum.
