Terry Baker shares this memory - In January 1949, prior to my 16th birthday I left school and joined KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as an office boy in the accounts department at their offices on Sloane Street, London, England. KLM was formed October 7, 1919 and, to commemorate the event, every employee was presented with a medal as a keepsake. My first ever flight was on a Convair 240 from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) on March 25, 1949 returning on March 27, 1949. I enjoyed 8 more flights to AMS before I left KLM in 1951 to serve my conscription obligations with service in the RAF. |
