Airline Catering

Seeing those pix of the cabin of Caravelle brings back memories of when, in the early 1950’s, a Caravelle was transporting some of The Faithfull from Tunis(?) to Mecca for The Annual Haj. It had been flying along the usual N African airway and had (in the middle of the night) been expected to report “Overhead El Adem”. In stead of whch we got a May-Day and a request for an immediate landing!
Some of The Faithfull had, apparently, huddled together at the back of the cabin and lit a small fire on the floor (from sticks they had presciently brought with them) and on which they were going to brew some “chai”. Modern airline catering/refreshments have nothing on this!
Let alone the FAF with “Zee hay is for zee horse” episode
Good days
