World’s Most Luxurious Jet Liners. Have never seen anything like it! The money spent and the insides of the planes are just insane!

[TonyV]

Smowball on BBC4 about 747 being created.

I’m reliving my misspent youth with Spotlight tv and 60s music

[Smowball]

Ah ok. These jets are just insane tho!

I still have some of the aluminium from square windows which caused first crash by metal fatigue.

Bobby for around 25 years then moved to British Aerospace, after a spell at a company building missiles. The prototypes make nice planters.

[Smowball]

I never knew it was actually called The Comet roundabout.

[TonyV]

yes Bobbie on the old A1

[Buenchico]

I think that I might order seven of these: one for each day of the week ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

But...lace doileys? Really?

[tonyav]

Nothing wrong with a nice lace doiley, my nan had plenty of them ;-)

My uncle worked on the Concorde development, Wolverhampton 1960's.

[shoota]

Indeed.
Everyone knows lace should be reserved for antimacassars...

[bunkmoreland]

Have Royal Doulton coffee ware from British Airways first class that i got in a charity shop. Thats the closest I get to luxury travel life;-)

My daughter was a police officer at an airport, and had occasion to go onto a jumbo jet belonging to a ruler of a middle eastern country. She said everything, and I mean everything, was covered with 24carat gold, including the taps. As is the custom in their country he had lent his previous plane to a family member, and so ordered the new one because the other was used! Unreal
