Love the photo of Victor Tango. As a stewardess with Monarch, I flew many thousands of
miles on her, have a nice picture taken inside her with all four of us girlies, in our
uniforms, in Valencia in the '70's. Came back from Ibiza on one trip on three engines
only, the passengers did not have a clue, but she got us home! Passengers used to freak
a bit on engine start up at night,lots of spectacular "flames" from the engines! Even
more weird, my brother was a Captain with British Eagle, and flew this plane for several
years before the demise of Eagle and the start of Monarch.

I was 5 when I flew on BOAC G-AOVT from London to Toronto in May of 1963. My family was
moving from the UK to Canada. The flight took 13 hours, 10 minutes (as noted in my BOAC
Junior Flight logbook). Even though I was only 5, I remember the adventure.
