I started listening to airband around 1975 - Leeds Approach/Tower on 123.75 and Leeds Radar 121.05. British Airways were 'Northeast', Air Anglia 'Anglia' and Aer Lingus 'Air Lingus' ('Shamrock') came later.
The exception was Dan Air who were still using registrations by prefixed by 'Dan Air'. ASPL, ARAY, ARRW and BEBA were the regulars
