I did my first transatlantic flight from Prestwick on an L-1011 Tristar with American Trans Air, Glasgow Fair 1998. We were heading to Orlando International with a one hour stop in Gander for fuel and buy some great ice cream. Was astonished with the short flight time Prestwick to Gander, 4 hours 15 minutes, then another 4 hours down to Florida. Happy days, thanks for the upload John.
Had my first transatlantic flight to Toronto in June 1982 from Prestwick on a Worldways 707. I can remember the stewardess mopping up the condensation around the cargo door(?) as the plane was climbing!
Absolutely marvelous film I remember all of them..... Great times when all was not so complicated.

No way! I flew for the first time ever on a Worldways Tristar on July 1st 1989. Prestwick to Toronto. The L-1011 remains my favourite plane!
What a beauty...and a technological marvel for her age (other than Concorde).
My first trans- Atlantic flight . Northwest I think to New York via Boston. Glasgow and Edinburgh didn't fly over there
A 747 I flew in from here in 89. Very dated plane I thought at the time. Stink of cigarette smoke with 70s decor
The Northwest 747 was a really early bird. Number 27 made in 1969. The nose section is now in the Smithsonian. So cool.
