Lunn, of Sur- rey, England, who is visiting Mr. and Mrs. G. Luke, Prince Albert, Ont. I arrived at Victoria Coach Station about 7.45 pan. on May 28th. My luggage was carried into the station by Portérs and I was told to report to Bay 2. Once there the luggage was weighed and I was given a receipt for each case. My ticket and Passport were checked and-I had to give the name and' address of my next of kin. There were only twelve people for the Montreal plane, and we were all taken by coach to Heathrow Aerodrome. When we arrived we were taken to a waiting room and about ten minutes later were taken on to the plane. In the meantime I found there was an- other girl about my age, going to Montreal," so we travelled together. The plane took. off at 9.30 p.m. and we all held tight for the first take-off. I 'den't quite know what we expected for, apart from a slight sensation of rising, nothing happened. We hard- ly knew when we left the ground. At first we were afraid. to look out of the window "because. of the speed and height. However, we soon found our- selves taking little peeps and each peep lasted longer. Very soon we were standing up to get a better view of "Toy-town" England beneath us. We could see the fields and houses plainly and could just see some traf- fie. After a good long gaze we sat buck and looked at some magazines, Une or other of us kept an eye on the scenery though we had a good view of Wash, and, later on, The Solway Mirth. (This. isn't my good geography. I asked the Stewardess). The flight was going very smoothly until we got to the Pennine Range. Then we be- gan"to bump about a little, (I under- stand this was due to air pockets which are common over mountains.) The "Bumping" wasn't bad and was something like being on a Switch- back. The Pennines certainly looked odd from the air and in the half light. Soon after we had passed the moun- tains we were told to fasten our safety belts for landing at Pestwick Aero- drome in Scotland. Once again we all held tight as we went down but there was nothing to worry about. We were certainly not werried about Jthe rest of our journey: We were met off the. plane, and taken into the Hotel on the drome. We left our hats and coats in the cloak- room and were taken into a lovely dining room, There were several tables in the room but we were taken . to one set for twelve. So we all sat round together, . making one big friendly family. We were offered tea or coffee to drink, and given fried egg and bacon to eat. (This was a luxury to us all owing to the ration- ing at home.) There was also toast, lots of real butter and jam and mar- malade. So we all had a good feed and hoped we would be able to keep it down. The time was around 12. midnight, English time, when we fin- ished our meal. The dining room was just lovely, All the tables were :deck- ed with flowers. There was a big, (cotitinued on the other side) ! SERGIO. PY |
