Flew out to Aussie to join my first ship on a BOAC Argonaut which was a four engined piston plane. It took five days stopping over at nights.
The days when it was a pleasure to fly with good service and food and not being cramped like herring in a barrel are only a memory now. Last time I flew was a trans Atlantic flight of seven hours with poor food and leg room which would have been crampted for someone 5'00". Never again. I would fly first class if some one else were to foot the cost but otherwise its terra firma.
