Hi, thanks for the comments. No it was not its first flight, it has been used on Birmingham-Belfast City & Birmingham-Toulouse-Bristol.
It was its first flight from Southampton though.

I flew in a Dan-Air Comet G-BDIU c/n 6468, on the last departure from Bournemouth(Hurn as it was then!!), only flew to Gatwick but it was well worth it. The trip was organised by Bath Travel who used the aircraft for many years from the airport, if i remember the cost was approximatly GBP13 which included the coach return!!!!.
The highlight of the flight for me was doing a 360 about a mile and a half from touchdown on 08 at Gatwick!!!.

All 757’s built are 2 crew only, there were a handful of 767’s built with a flight engineer’s station i think these were for Ansett.

The Palmair B732’s have had a row of seats taken out making them 126 seaters,so the seat pitch is greater than 29″(not sure what it is though?). I flew with Palmair many times when they were useing the Flightline 146’s & the cabin service was very good.

I’ve just remembered that JAL also operated the DC-10-40 as well so that would make a total build of about 36.

Thank’s for that EAL KING, yup i’m sure it was a -40 that i flew in, they built about 25 of them, if i remember Northwest were the only customer. I flew in N159US. Most have now been withdrawn from use but i think there are 1 or 2 still flying as freighter’s.

Back in 1977 i was travelling from Bristol to Shannon with a stop in Dublin,equipment for the flight’s was due to be a BAW Bae 1-11 BRS-DUB & an EIN B742 DUB-SNN.
The BRS-DUB flight was operated by a Viscount(i was not complaining!!!!!),& the DUB-SNN sector was operated by a train as EIN were on strike!!!!!!.
Better luck on the return, SNN-DUB by an EIN B707 & DUB-BRS by an EIN B732.
