The picture below article was spotted by our Terry Baker in the "Between Ourselves" magazine issued July 1957. It shows a scene at the London Heathrow Airport (LHR) in 1957 at the TCA ticket counter with Passenger Agent Bill Ferguson handing a shipment of the Salk vaccine to a Canadian journalist.
The photo and details were sent to Jack Morath, the UK Pionairs Social Director in London, who sent us this response -
Regarding the picture received from Terry Baker of Bill Ferguson in the North Side temporary departure lounge.
I spoke with Bill yesterday and he doesn't remember the picture being taken but confirms that he was a passenger agent when he joined TCA in 1956. He is very well and sounds great too. He is 88 now and living in a small village near Dartmouth, Devon. As he is not on the computer I have sent a package of pictures to him in the mail. He sounds just the same as I remember him.
Jack
