A Convair 580. Bit of a chunky baby, that one.

You are correct Sir! :-)

My first flight was as a wide eyed kid in a Convair 440.

Ah, the joys of youth, eh?


You bet. I was only 4 or so at the time and this was my first flight so it
was quite a treat. I think everyone remembers their first flight best
because it is the first.

Care to share your first flight experience and what you remember?

My first flight was as a eight or nine year old lad. It was in an Auster
from the beach at Cleethorpes. I was impressed to see the horizon appear to
tilt as the plane banked and to see Grimsby docks as we flew over the Humber
estuary. Five bob well spent, in my opinion.

Cheers,
