Someone finally coming home from #Malaysia via #Singapore in around the 1960s, seemingly. (More of this steamer trunk: https://mastodon.scot/@electropict/112390140458744161 )

A job I have lined up for this year is to rehabilitate a large old steamer trunk.  Today I untied a luggage tag from its handle.  It’s a flight tag from Singapore, date uncertain, but the company name can be made out – British Overseas Airways [Corporation].  That took me back a bit.  Has to be at least fifty years old but it looks probably 60+.

This was in the days when you could take a steamer trunk on a plane – or even a train ... honest!
