April 1969

One and a half year after I first landed in Dubai,

I flew on by B.O.A.C. 

(British Overseas Aircraft Corporation)

 in a VC-10 Aircraft

to Bombay and Goa on my first vacation.

Here I am holding on tight

to my precious BOAC plane ticket.

Flying executive style in a suit and tie

was the norm then,

with the iconic

BOAC air hand-bags which were

quite popular and seen everywhere.
