Very sad to read about Sir David Frost passing away. He was just about the most frequent ever notable passenger, wasn't he?
Here was David talking about our favourite BA metal:

And in a tribute to your name, an old anecdote that I know I have mentioned before. From the days that Sir David was commuting on a weekly basis (at least) when he had concurrent chat shows in New York and London.
BA Steward to Frostie on wheeling out the trolley of appetisers:
'It's Caviar again I'm afraid Mr Frost....'

I was once op-upped to F and sat in 1K ahead of him in 2K. Was struck that he wasn't asked to show his passport at the gate; that he asked for a taste of all the wines in F before choosing; and that he was incredibly polite and friendly with the cabin crew who obviously loved serving him. If I ever get to the stage when I fly as much as he did, I hope I manage to do so with as much charm as he had.

I do believe the picture of David Frost on the front page of the BBC News entertainment_and_arts page is David sitting on Concorde.
