This Scans on Saturday photo was taken by my Dad in Paris, on my first foreign holiday in 1972. Happy memories of this experience, when I was just under 8 years old. We stayed in the Ferry Hotel, near the Place de la Republique, and the little waitress made a fuss of me, being a little blonde girl! I loved the hot chocolate she gave me at breakfast and the croissants!!
In this picture, you can see my brother John, Mum, me (why aren't I smiling?!), my sister Anne and her French friend Marie-Noelle. I was wearing my favourite pink dress (some might argue it’s too short to be a dress!)
My Dad loved Paris and I fell in love with the city then too!

G-ALDC, Falcon Airways Handley Page HP.81 Hermes 4A and partially G-ALDA.
G-ALDC was damaged beyond repair around a year after this photo was taken. When landing at Southend on 09 October 1950 it overran the runway, struck an earth bank breaking the nosewheel leg and finally came to rest on a railway track.
G-ALDA was to be the last Hermes in commercial use retiring in 1964.
Delivered to National Airlines as a Convair 340 in 1953 where it was registered as N8418H. Later upgraded to a Convair 440 and eventually to the turboprop model 580.
N5814 is seen (at New York La Guardia?) wearing the Aspen colours whilst on summer lease to Air New England in the early eighties.
To Canada as C-GKFY sadly being written off whilst fire fighting during 2010.
