It's November of 1981 and TAA - Trans Australian Airlines - has recently taken delivery of its first Airbus A300, the first widebodied aircraft to be flown by an Australian domestic airline. You've booked yourself a First Class seat aboard TAA's 6:00pm departure between Melbourne and Perth. It's a warm autumn evening as you board the big jetliner and take your seat at 4A. Ah... what nice seats these are - wide, plush, supremely comfortable - this will be a great way to fly across the continent to Perth. As an added bonus, dinner will be served along the way. Menus are already at your seat and as you take that first pull off a nicely chilled VB lager, you open the menu and consider the meal to come...
