Description

The first inter-continental flight arrives at Aldergrove. This Boeing 727 from Wardair is carrying a number of Northern Ireland families home for the 12th of July. Lesley Dawes is at Aldergrove to see it land after the flight from Edmonton, Alberta. He speaks to the Captain about the flight and the plane itself.  

Lesley also has a chat with the hostesses and we see some out-takes from the interview.
