Having arrived on the schedule from Le Bourget, F-BELP is towed to a wartime dispersal pan for the night, still 'flying the flag' from its cockpit windows. Passengers from a domestic flight walk unescorted along the apron edge as the port engine of BEA Viking 1B G-AMNJ is revved up. All was delightfully easy going in those long past days!
