Very interesting how times have changed.
Whilst I am yet to have a JLC in my small collection I can at least say I had the pleasure of flying Concorde back in the early 80's which meant I arrived in New York an hour before I left London which still blows my mind remembering that journey even now nearly 40 years later. Marc
Had the pleasure flying it from NY to Paris What manny don’t know is that the fuselage was that of the old Caravelle and quit narrow. Seat 1a in the Concorde was about the smallest seat with no headroom whatsoever haha
And I’m one of the few who can honestly state that it hasn’t been the fastest one I’ve been flying
If Jaeger offers you the role of Head of House, will you take that role? I believe you can do it so well.
I love the vintage ads and how nice to see a man of action wearing a watch designed “pour l’homme d’action”. Regards Kev.
