Aisle seat? Then you get everyone else climbing over you!
My first flight was in 1965 (BEA Vanguard), and I've loved flying ever since. Going out to Aden in VC10s was a great experience. However the one flight there in an RAF Transport Command Britannia was not quite so great ... in flight catering consisted of a piece of dry cake and a cup of water! My traveling companions were large wooden crates.
