Airline timetables – on paper!

Would you believe I have stashed away these 1970s-vintage airline timetables for posterity?

Weird, I know. But printed material of this nature – anything at all, really – is fast disappearing. You may not recognise it yourself but paper as an office “staple” has been on the slide for at least 30 years. With every passing year more paper invoices, receipts, tickets, timetables, instructions, labels and “forms” are replaced by an online equivalent. Once gone they won’t return. Not that I’m a Luddite, far from it. I just like to document some of the simplest, perhaps least important details of our human civilised history as it passes….
