Today is, I just discovered from my local TV stations magazine program, the 40th anniversary of the first flight of the 747

Oh, THAT queen...

I thought you meant the Vickers VC.10, the ORIGINAL and REAL Queen of the Skies (and publicized as such for many years before the 747). :lol:

Nonsense. The REAL Queen of the Skies began her life in 1935 as the Boeing model 299. . .

Cheers!
