city as memory

Cathay Pacific Boeing 747-267B (VR-HKG), departing Sydney Airport, August 1979. One of my favourite airline liveries, the epitome of 70s/80s jet-setting glamour (with the exception of British Airways’ “Landor” livery, especially on a Concorde) with a sheen of functionality and a hint of “Far East” exoticism before yearly boozy trips to Vietnam were commonplace.
