Which is also why we had a pair of binoculairs sitting in Dan Dare Ops at Luton - the windows looked out over the apron - There was this one Courtline
Traffic hostie who was called "the Body"..............the joke was that one day she would accidently back into the prop of a HS748 or Viscount and the result
would be........

That brings back happy memories. In the mid-70's I shared a house with two senior Monarch stewardesses. Every weekend, if I wasn't doing anything more important, I would get to fly to exotic destinations (Palma, Tenerife), sitting on a jump seat in the cockpit. Coming back I would refill our drinks cabinet with duty frees. I got to fly on their B720's, BAC1-11's and Britannias. Then there were all the parties..... Happy Days!!!

The one on the left was a VERY senior A/H If you think you probably know both them - ever attend any parties
out on the Old Bedford Road???


Leif ;-)

Hi Leif,
Don't particularly remember Old Bedford Road, but do remember parties in Upper Wellington Street and out at Totternhoe. Names that come to mind - Annie Roberts, Kathy O'Conner, Ingrid Bachmann, Jenny Dudley, Bruna Greco and the very lovely Jenny Brader, who is on the front of a Monarch Souvenir brochure I have. If I can work out how to up-load it I'll post a scan.

p.s. the ex-Monarch Britannia at Duxford has a nice display of photos from the period showing Flight and cabin crews.

Totternhoe? Wasnt at Manor Farm were they?

LOL I knew Bob Costin continued to lease the farm after we all (The Dan Air mob) left ...I think he may have
had a couple of Monarch Girls - Totternhoe/Eaton Bray/Edlesborough were quite popular with the airline folks
There were at least three Dan AIr/Inivcta Steweries in Eaton Bray - and three Britannia girls lived in a Cottage on the
Village green at Edlesborough, - Pam Watson-Jones was one fo them - Owned an MGCGT

Much happier days

Leif
