Howard,

Thanks for this - it is interesting to see how things are similar and different to the present day.

This route was my first VS flight back in 1992 - only a Y PAX so did not see these luxuries!!

Great stuff Howard, I remember those old seats from my first UC (to San Francisco. The menu is interesting, wine selection a tad better than now and I'd forgotten the guest course option, might be one to bring back ...

Sherry and Ruddles beer.

I do remember being upstairs in PE out of LAX when a trolly loaded with bowls of strawberries wass wheeled up the aisle. You could see the whole cabin go green and plotting to distract the CC before stealing them.

So how many menus have you scanned? [}:)] Taking a page from Mr. Mannion? [:o)]

I remember their champagne cocktail before takeoff was stunning - one glass and I just slept straight through.

I found myself at a loose end yesterday so scanned in half a dozen, but some were for other sites. I've been meaning to do this one for sometime but the technology wasn't on my side.

I only have a couple of hundred more menus to go.

Just looking though the VS menus I've 'borrowed' over the years.

The oldest one I can find is a PE/Economy one from the VS047 LGW>YYZ service which was from 17/08/2001. There's a bigger selection of food and drink on that than you get in J today [:w]

You can tell it was posh because they called lunch 'luncheon'. ;)
