And I can remember a NAC DC3 flight on Saturday early evening back in the day where those in the front seats got a hot drink, those in the back seats got a cold drink, and those in the middle seats got nothing because they had run out.
It was not all wine and roses.

They all look stuck up and ridiculously rich, which of course you had to be to fly in those days. Looking at that scene I'd prefer today with just a cuppa and a biccie. |

Mark, they may be collectable but cheap as chips (less than ten bucks). Here is a very plain selection. Perhaps closer to the war years, maybe from the Sandringham days.   |

Looking at that scene I'd prefer today with just a cuppa and a biccie. are probably all paid models taking part in an advertising photo shoot. It looks suspiciously like the cabin in a Comet jetliner. Probably part of a BOAC advertisement. Mind you, I've been served up meals almost as good as that on an Air New Zealand DC-8. Those were the days. Plenty of legroom back then too. The rows lined up with those HUGE Douglas windows. And I can remember when the rows in NAC Friendships lined up with the big oval windows, before they started squeezing the rows up so they could fit in more seats. Ditto with NAC's Viscounts, although I only flew in a Viscount on one occasion, from Wellington to Christchurch. |
