My parents went to Nassau Bahamas in 1960 aboard a BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) in a Boeing 707. They left Idlewild (now JFK) International Airport in Jamaica, New York and returned a week later on a Pan American 707. This footage was originally taken on 8mm film. My uncle filmed my parents leaving and coming back at Idlewild; my dad filmed my mom boarding, inside the BOAC 707 during takeoff and inflight, and the PanAm 707 on the tarmac at Nassau.
When the film was developed, my dad used a splicer to stitch the footage together and make it continuous. I edited out their vacation time in Nassau but I will be uploading footage of the bugeye Sprite that they rented.
The black-and-white car at the end was my uncle's 1957 Ford. #boac #nassaubahamas #707 #panamerican
