Cool video. That sure looks like Hong Kong at 0:02-0:26.

[jrrylpz]

gotta love that organ!

My father worked for BOAC in the 60s and I so wish it was me! I work for BA now - there is no comparison! True jet set then - the origins of it all. Now just miserable business men and chav scum. If I only had a time machine...

[jrrylpz]

Just say thank god you don't work for EasyJet or Ryan Air...

Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC didn't get to bed last night..........back in the US back in the Us back in the USSR!

The Aircraft were noisey, not as insulated and not nearly as safe as today. There were no personal entertainment systems or flight status video in the back of seats. No GPS tracking and advance warning systems like today. Just old Radar and Radio communication.

Sure it looks like a 'nicer' world but if you were to go back there is a lot you would miss. I'm talking about long Haul here not Low Fare short haul with regards to creature comforts. Boac Comet or A340 or B777. No contest. Sorry.

yeah working for the airlines is the pits these days. The cheaper the airline the worse it is...

There was something soothing about BOAC the same as there is a certain class that fly British Airways. Lovely Roy Budd`esque keyboards!

Does anyone know if this is Harry Stoneham on the organ?

I am seeing many videos from your channel before my subscription, and everything to be seen looks like gold nuggets! Thank you for opening our memories with your own.

Perfect.

I always have this music in my head, it has sort of been metaphysically transferred there from living in proximity to this era, but I have never done that much etymological/musicological work.

Great.

Love you.
