Probably 27th July 1980. The Merchantman would have been G-APEG which was parked on stand 11 that day, my (not totally comprehensive) records only have it parked there once in July 1980 which was on 27th. The 707 behind on stand 13 would have been ex-Aeroamerica N752TA which languished there all month until it was moved to stand 16 on 8th August. Sister ship N751TA was in the ERUB by this time, finally getting broken up there in 1982.
Incidentally, my office was the portakabin left of hangar 9.
