Yes...named after the Irish unemployment form. I shit you not.

Vernon'll meet me when the BOAC lands / Keys to the M.G. Will be in his hand...

Montego Bay.

I always heard BOAC as "Boeing" because it just makes more sense? And BOAC used to operate 707's. Okay, they also operated Super Connies.....but wrong era.
Can anyone tell me what M.G. Stood for? Without using Google?

Speaking of BOAC.... Back in the USSR mentions them. The engines sounds overdubbed have a definite RR sound to them... Conways perhaps?

No clue.... but I did remember after googling it.

"So, bye, bye, Miss American Pie"
The Bonanza that killed Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens, was called, Miss American Pie.
It was painted right on the side of the plane.

Jimmy Buffet sings about landing his Albatross in the water off the shore of Negril and the cops thinking it was a drug . and opened fire on the aircraft.

Based on that experience, he wrote "Jamaica Mistaka."
