I'm actually flying back to NBO for the first time in 15 years in October and a small part of me was saddened when I saw that BA now fly 777s on that route.
Count yourself lucky! When I was growing up it was VC-10s only on that route with 2 stops en route (something like Cairo and Rome). From memory the choice was BOAC, BUA or EAA.

No IFE or anything How did we cope??

I think the route went to 747s with BOAC in '72 or '73.

Would love to have the time to go back.
