You weren't a member of the Junior Jet Club?

I wasn't, but... Dan Dare on Radio Lux? BOAC? I'll plump for the
latter.

Your prize is the Nick Maclaren accolade for Good Guessing. Yes,
back in the days when it was Better On A Camel (and don't ask what
people were doing on the camel), and the Comet started to replace
the Viscount, BOAC did one of the inane publicity exercises for
underage passengers. I think I still have my certificate
somewhere.

Uncle and family went back to Oz on the first Comet flight champagne
and all. I've put the Accolade on the mantelpiece with my Nobel: it
looks lovely, thank you.
