April 1969 LGW to Venice to join the Nevasa on a school cruise from Venice to Dubrovnik, Heraklion, Rhodes, Naples, Lisbon and Southampton where the newly launched QE2 was berthed. Flight was on a BAC 111 and I think the airline was Laker. Beautiful view of the Matterhorn. There was exchange control and my passport shows I took £2 in foreign currency from the Westminster Bank.

First flight on BA was May 1975 from Jo'burg to LHR via Nairobi.
