LESSON 17
The most of airline sick bags in the world


Aidan Straddling: My name is Aidan Straddling and I collect airline sick bags.

When I was a boy, I lived next to an airport. It was very easy for me to get interested in everything to do with aviation. I soon started to collect all sorts of things, but after a while I decided to specialise. I've got about 1,200 different bags and they come from nearly 500 different airlines. I'm not sure where I stand exactly, but I would imagine I'm certainly in the top five in the world.

For me, quality is more important than quantity. And for example, I've got a sick bag from 1936 which has got some writing on it, telling me all about the aircraft it came from. And that, as a historical artefact, is much more interesting than having lots of different ones.
