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

Sorry, I have just noticed this thread. My first flight was in a TWA Boeing 720 (remember them?) from Philadelphia to Chicago O'hare in July 1965.
My first flight in or out of GLA was on a BEA Comet IV from LHR in April 1967. F
