Idling in town today and to kill a moment or two, went into Thomas Cook, where I found a brochure for the winter from Cosmos.
Didn't know that company (or brand) was still operating.
What's next? The return of Horizon or Swan's or, perhaps, Ski-Plan? -)

Skiplan also still operating. They're a school trips company.

Possibly a different company - it was always a very exciting moment in the early 1970s when the new Ski-Plan (with a hyphen) brochure came out.
Skiplan's website say they've been organising trips for 14 years; Ski-Plan was of much earlier vintage!

Up there for thinking, down there for skiing...

And you know what? Thinking about it I went to Aprica in 1979 with Ski hyphen Plan
We all hired the same navy blue trousers and jackets and flew on what felt like an ancient plane (possibly Dan Air).
1 st time I ever ate pizza!

I went on a Ski-Plan trip to Sauze in 1973 and we flew Dan Air to Turin on a BAC 1-11. It was Easter and instead of ski pants, most of us tearaways had jeans that were waterproofed!
Them were the days!
