It was a natural choice for Lotus Cars in Vancouver to select Kuehne and Nagel to airfreight four new Lotus Esprits to their Canadian customers. The vehicles are seen here being loaded aboard a Canadian Airlines B-747-400 at Cardiff Airport, UK. This aircraft had previously flown into the UK with a full cargo load to have its livery painted before undergoing its 'D' checks at Cardiff Airport, and departing for Vancouver with another full cargo load. |

Service to Orient marks 20th birthday CP Air marked 20 years of service to the Orient September 19, 1969 when flight 401 departed for Tokyo and Hong Kong. Aboard the anniversary flight, piloted by Captain Mel Lee, was Miss CP Air 20, Shesh Wallace, bearing letters of greeting from Vancouver's mayor to the Governor of Tokyo and other dignitaries. Fluently bilingual in English and Japanese, Miss Wallace was chosen to symbolize two decades of accord between Canada and Japan. Captain Lee, who piloted the DC-8-63 Spacemaster 'Empress of Honolulu' on the historic flight, is a CP Air veteran of 27 years. He was one of the original pilots trained for the Orient run and has logged some 22,000 air hours. The first Canada-Orient flight, with a Canadair Four aircraft travelled the 6,670 miles to Tokyo and Hong Kong in 30 hours via Anchorage and Shemya. Today the same flight takes 14 hours with no stops between Vancouver and Tokyo. |
