First charter was British Caledonian BAC1-11 G-AXJK from Gatwick to Malta on 03/07/73 for ATC Summer Camp at RAF Hal Far, returning a week later on G-AWWZ.

end of an era, for sure, I've managed a few flights on 747s..... PanAm LHR-MIA-LHR(-121), BA LHR-JFK-LHR (136), BA LHR-YYZ-LHR (-136), BA YMX-LHR-YMX (-436), BA 2x LHR-PHL-LHR (-436), BA 2x LHR-IAD-LHR (-436), and most memorably Alitalia MXP-MIA-MXP (-243). Not my favourite long haul aircraft to be ...

I'm fortunate to have done many DC-9/MD80 series flights over the years. BMI LHR-LPL, KLM LHR-AMS, dozens of Alitalia LHR-LIN and MXP, LHR-FCO, LGW-PSA, MXP-PSA; my last MD80 series flight was actually Delta, DTW-CVG in 2018. One of my favourite aeroplanes, especially in the front cabin.
