My first long flight was from Okinawa to London in 1972. The plane was a 707 and landed in Hong Kong, and Bangkok where due to engine trouble we were delayed. It then flew to LOD airport in Israel for my connection flight which had long since gone. I sat in that airport all night guarded with suspicion by a tough looking Israeli soldier with an Uzi (this was a few months after the LOD airport massacre.)
Next morning was I ever glad to board a British Caledonian plane for home.
