I cannot speak for anyone else, of course, but the reason that the trip I described above sticks in my mind was that it was the very first air journey I had ever undertaken.

Coupled with that was the fact that we were travelling on "the very first Jewish airline in 2000 years" (corny, I know, but people talked like that in those days) to the fairly recently-established "Jewish state" of Israel.

Yes, it is astonishing that I can remember the details i mentioned, but for the life of me I can't remember where I put my other spectacles 10 minutes ago!
