There was a documentary on BBC2 last week about the 747

It's still on iPlayer for 3 weeks the plane that changed the world

A sad day.

We all owe him a debt of gratitude - my first flight across the Pond was on a Pan Am 747SP

:D mines was on a Wardair 747. I remember sitting looking out the window at Prestwick airport before leaving the gate and starring at this little plane parked beside us. Concorde. :D
