Homeward bound and this
time we are both in first class!

Sunday 22nd - Monday 23rd March 2026

 

Sunday 22nd March 2026
 
Bruce got his first taste of travelling in first class. It was amazing, but as he made clear to Geoff, it was an experience that would be unlikely to be repeated...
 
...to which Geoff muttered something under his breath which sounded a bit like "we'll see about that!".

After breakfast, our flight attendant couldn't get Bruce's seat to return to the landing position. After some discussion, it was decided that one of the crew members would sit on the flight deck for landing and Bruce would sit in their seat.
 
He was treated to an amazing view, sitting just outside the flight deck and looking down the full length of the Airbus A380 as we came in to land.
 
 
As a consolation for his malfunctioning seat, we were both invited to visit the flight deck after landing. It was an experience that Bruce will never forget as he sat and chatted to all three of the flight deck crew. The Captain even offered Bruce his seat and a chance to wear his hat...
 
Not content with wearing the Captain's cap, Bruce enhanced the photo to complete the look!
 
A day later, Geoff tried out the solar powered feature that Des had given us before we left. We both love it!
 
 
 
A couple of weeks later, Mom sent us these photo memories of her big birthday. Des made the montage board from photos which we took.
 
We had this photo copied onto a canvas backing and Des found the space to hang it... a feat in itself!
