Lets face it, back in the day, all we had was Matchbox, Dinky, Corgi, and Spot-on. There are some very interesting stories on You Tube about all this. Considering we were not well off, I did Ok. Dinkies were primitive in my day, no windows or interiors, but Corgi came along and upped the game. Spot-on were impressive at the time but looking at them now, they were crude. The commercials were amazing but I never came close apart from a luxury coach.

I did also have a small Tri-ang railway. Playcraft was basement bin quality. Hornby Dublo 3 rail was what the rich kids had.

But it was Airfix kits which filled my early years. Mostly aircraft, but a few warships and galleons. The small stuff was 2/6d by then. The big stuff 7/6d. I recall the Sunderland flying boat was 10/6d. I don't think I built to a very good standard with hindsight, but I had a fantastic time building.

When there are people walking the streets with Machetes it is a very small matter for good humour as the OP stated.

As Sam is Lesbian and recently (2022) married it could be argued the calendar pics were for the ladies workforce

She looked good back in the day, but I wouldn’t want to be sat next to her on a flight.

That's a bit -----ist can but agree though

Charged with being drunk and disorderly on a BA aircraft, appeared in court :-

Handing down a 12-month community order, including the £1,000 fine and up to 25 rehabilitation activity requirement days, Ikram said: ‘In this case, the plane was still on the ground, but as a result of your behaviour the pilot – so that the aircraft would not be endangered – returned the aircraft to the stand.’

I worked for a cigar company for 21 years. A non smoker but did sample new products.
We made Manikin cigars. Remember the ad#? Women gambolling in the waves ? The company even had a Miss Mannikin beauty comp event for employees.
We made Hamlet cigars too and they were advertised with comedy. Remember Gregor Fisher's photobooth ad?
Large scale spknsorship of sports....F1, golf, fly fishing the main ones.
In my garage I have a framed poster from an ad awards presentation. I'll get a photo up later. Also some momentos of books, in-house magazines. The marketing dept were very quick to put out an ad that hit on current news, not all making the cut! I have a vhs of the Hamlet ads but lost a copy of out-takes from Hamlet and Mannikin.
Our engineering workshop took down certain calendars when a girl became a technician based there. The workforce was hugely female biased, at one time I had 100+ in my department with 7 males mainly technicians. Sometimes a "dangerous" place for the men!

I would love to get a flight next to her (were she willing to waste it talking to me) to get her view on life. Being a male sex symbol (and possibly female but I would not have a view on that) with an alternative preference. How the industry was from her point of view. All the wrong stuff that most probably happened. It would not be a quiet flight and possibly involve alcohol.

Absolutely right her take on the business would be an interesting one.
Hadn't thought about that

This was the one that sticks in my mind though.

When you're in the departure lounge, this is who you'll be looking for. Are you still sure ?
