I have just been looking at some old photos and found one showing us boarding a Boeing 707 when my mum and dad took us to Los Angeles back in July 1973. It was a British Caladonian flight direct from Gatwick.
It says on the back of the photo, only 11 hours to LA! I remember the captain telling us we were going into a stack when we arrived so there was the usual traffic delays. It is interesting that the flight time all those years ago was not much different to today. To me, it seems that the 707 was either a very good aircraft or the modern ones havn`t progressed much.
