No pictures?

This is the closest I have, but you can’t see the colour of the First Officer’s socks!

I see what you mean, Phil, but I guess we’ll never know now whether George was trying to prove a point (on his own or the company’s behalf) or not. God rest his soul, anyway.

Like this one, for example . . .

This is what it says, and the dimensions are stated clearly enough! My Samsonite shoulder bag fits nicely within this and so I’m ready for my USA flight on Friday.

“Each passenger is permitted to carry ONE item of cabin baggage through the airport security search point. The dimensions of this item must not exceed: a maximum length of 45 cm, width of 35 cm and depth of 16 cm (17.7″×13.7″×6.2″ approx) (including wheels, handles, side pockets etc.). Other bags, such as handbags, may be carried within the single item of cabin baggage. All items carried by passengers will be x-ray screened.”

Well, it was dark!
