First ever flight

[Skytrance]

Britannia Airways 757 GLA - ALC March 1993 i remember it was pouring down with rain.

[Aerecosse]

First flight was in 1968 PIK-IOM as a 10 year old on a Dan Air HS748 returning again a week later on a Dan Air Viscount and picked up by an uncle as the rest of the family were travelling by car...a 2 door black "moggie" as I recall...reg UGD 90

Aerecosse - whereabouts did you stay...I was in Keal Drive on the North bank of the canal between the 2 lock gates....before they built these flats and blocked my view of the threshold of 24 as it was then

Apologies Ian for delayed reply....just noticed your comment even though I had read all of the replies.....stayed in Invercanny Dr 5 Apts towards the Linkwood Dr end.... almost in line with the 1st high rise.... which has now been taken down. Happy days... we used to just hear the engines and guess at who it was ... trident, 1-11's and the old Russian noise machines.... odd concorde and US galaxy & huge anatovs....loved everyday

Glasgow - Alicante, Oct 1978 with BY. Think the aircraft name was Sir Walter Raleigh. I wasn't yet collecting regs at that time. Funnily enough I've never been back to ALC since. Need to sort that out when the world gets flying again

Sir Walter Raleigh was G-BAZI. Mrs Accounts and I flew on her back to Glasgow from our honeymoon in Palma.
