In NetLetter #1557 'NetLetter Archives' there is a memory about the royal flight which has a minor error. The captain on the royal flight was Art Ander, not 'Anders' as stated.
He was a family friend of my father, Herb Seagrim, who was often at our home when I was young. While I have your attention I would also like to thank you and congratulate you for producing a fine NetLetter which I have enjoyed for many years.
Retired Captain, Doug Seagrim

From the 'NetLetter Archives' piece about the first aircraft to be painted in 'Air Canada' livery, Queen Elizabeth II stops to wave before boarding DC-8-43 Fin #807, CF-TJG, for the trip back from Ottawa to London on October 13, 1964

Found this postcard and thought you may want to show it for everyone who visited the Montreal Airport Hilton years ago.
You may have worked for an airline and stayed at the Hilton years ago and this is what you would have seen. I believe I got this in the early 70's. Not sure of the exact date but maybe some of your readers may remember.
Thanks,
Allen Ryan |
