Bloody Tourists

In those first few months, besides working on the T45, we enjoyed a lot of what Southern California had to offer, the Queen Mary was parked in Long Beach harbour and it was an early visit to what had essentially become a floating restaurant.

In a dome across the bay, the Howard Hughes "Spruce Goose" was an enormous aviation marvel and a group of us went to see it. I am amazed that I didn't take a photograph of it, but that may have been restricted.
