Planes fascinated me from a very early age but when I actually got to fly my first flight was when I flew to Canada in Super Constellation in 1959. These were the days when they still were a few years away from having full time commercial jets running.The first picture shown is a Royal Dutch Airline Constellation. The second one is a TCA Super Connie G which I flew from London to Montreal which shows the airline and the type of plane that I flew in.TCA changed its name to Air Canada in the early sixties. The third picture is a Vickers Viscount which I flew in from Montreal to Toronto. Next is the Bristol Britannia which was also referred to as "The Whispering Giant" Alas I was never able to have a flight in one of them to see if that was true.
