Day queen's flight from Kenya was most-tracked

Former Aberdares resident hunter Jim Corbett penned the famous words that catapulted Treetops to world acclaim: "For the first time in the history of the world, a young girl climbed into a tree one day a princess and after having what she described as her most thrilling experience she climbed down from the tree next day a queen."

However, it was not only the fortunes of the 25-year-old girl or those of the hotel that had changed overnight. According to pictures and documents at the British Airways museum, the flight that conveyed the new queen back to England from Kenya gained a celebrated status.
