The OP mentions 3 to a row [and, I think, means 6] so it must have been a -436. Although -236s operated to LAX, -136s did not [but -136s did operate to SFO].

This thread has brought back memories of the convertible seat [which I never got to try] and also of the cradle seat, which I quite liked. Who remembers the "mini duffel bag" amenity kit from the cradle seat days?!

That was the very first amenity pack for CW.

Oooh, do you mean the dark blue ones with lighter blue squares, white piping and strings with a blue plastic cube toggle? I still have a couple of those.

I also have an off white CW washbag with a navy nine square CW logo and navy detailing. I don't remember seeing those onboard but I think it was after the bags with the drawstrings, maybe an early Body Shop bag?

For UD Y seating I had the pleasure once on a DTW-YMX-LHR, had a whole row to myself at the back of the cabin. The IFE was on CRT TV screens above the aisle. IIRC, seatback TVs in Y didn't appear until the 777s were delivered, and not on the 744s until WT was relaunched in the late 90s?

I still have a blue one!

Weren't the tablecloths and/or napkins tartan?

This is certainly not upstairs on a B747 as there are no side bins. I agree that it is most likely a studio mock up.

No they came much later, the original ones were paper with the nine squares logo, the china had these as well.

I remember flying LHR-BKK-KUL on those seats, albeit in 3-3 Y format, and I remember legroom being fairly "good" (relatively speaking).

What was the pitch like on the super club? I'm guessing pitch wasn't adjustable.

Oh dear, I think I'm giving my age away.
