Attracted by very cheap prices, the worker's class of Britain –first time in the history of the world– enjoy part of their leisure time in a foreing country. Droves of tourists arrived ay Majorca Island on behalf of Spantax, a company who experimented the "no frills" operations that triumphs to-day in the aerial transport.
The U.S. aircraft was big and the frantic rithm of tourist transport assured the benefits. Sad destiny for an aircraft designed as the Rolls Royce of the passenger carriers.
