March 1, 2026. Snapshot.

I love this time capsule of a picture, found in an old album at my parents’ house.

The location is Boston-Logan, and the year, I believe, is 1965.

BOAC (made famous in the Beatles song, “Back in the USSR”), was, for decades, the UK’s long-haul airline. I can remember a BOAC 747 or two landing at BOS when I was a little kid (very little, but I knew that livery, with the black nose-swoop and “Speedbird” logo on the tail, poking between the triple-deckers of Beachmont, even at age six).

In 1974 BOAC merged with BEA (British European Airlines), and two smaller carriers, to form British Airways.

The man on the left, with the suit-bag over his shoulder, looking like he’s trying out for a part in The Godfather is my dad.
