First Flight

April 1969 - One and a half year after I first landed to work in Dubai, I flew on a B.O.A.C. (British Overseas Aircraft Corporation) VC-10 Jet Aircraft to Bombay and Goa on my first vacation. Here I am holding on tight to my BOAC plane ticket. 

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.
