Holidays were rarely heard of in the early 1900’s, if people did go on holiday it was usually somewhere which was in easy reach, ie. Clacton or Skegness, and it was usually only the well to do that got to travel away on holiday.  Before 1940 trips to the seaside were virtually unheard of, but by the end of the war people were starting to take trips by train to the shore.  As aviation and technology started to advance, people were becoming aware that it might soon be possible to journey further a field to hotter climates.  Boeing were the first company of its kind to launch the first passenger aircraft and it was called the Douglas DC-3, this fine aircraft was built in 1935 ready for its first use in 1936.  The passenger service up until the Douglas DC-3 was not profitable, but this aircraft made it so, with its ability to be able to hold a total of 21 passengers.  Its first general public flight was in 1945 by Canada airlines.

Up until the latter end of the 1960’s it was felt that only people who had money travelled via aircraft.  This was generally true, but falling prices in air fare were attracting more and more people abroad, and by the latter end of the 1990’s most people had a main holiday abroad.  Spain was a popular location for people travelling from the British Isles, and many parts of Spain have become so commercialised that there is little difference between certain parts of Spain and Blackpool.  Magaluf in Majorca is one place which has been compared to the English seaside town of Blackpool, minus the tower of course, but on a hot summers day in Blackpool there is not much difference between this established seaside town.  The hen and stag parties are just as popular in Magaluf as they are in Blackpool and there are plenty of food outlets which are popular with the British such as McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken, and if you want a great British fry up, then this is also possible in Spain.  Flight and aviation made all this possible, much to the despair of some traditional Spanish locals.

Although flights are cheaper nowadays there is one aircraft which will always remain a fond memory, Concord .  This plane was rumoured to break the sound barrier, and it was a flight that never lost its popularity, even though modern fixtures and fittings were lacking, people still booked to go on the flight and experience its supersonic speed.  Concord which was once considered the safest aircraft in the sky was finally grounded on 24 October 2003, after its fateful crash in 2000 in Paris Concord never recovered and total grounding of this fabulous aircraft was inevitable.  Thousands of people turned out to witness a sad day for aviation and celebrities were among the passengers who experienced Concords final hour.  The passenger list for Concords final flight included model Jodie Kidd, Sir David Frost, Joan Collins (who had previously flown on Concord 10 times), politician Tony Benn, model, Christie Brinkley and Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone.
