Until the age of 9 I lved on the Beechwood estate with a rear garden backing onto Trinity and All Saints College. The (then) 33 approach and 15 climb out were in full view from the rear of the house.
There was a period when Viscounts in BEA Red Square livery were sighted regularly if not frequently. I seem to remember reading somewhere that when the V806 Viscounts were being transferred to BKS BEA leased them and kept them under close observation.
Not correct. BKS/Northeast had own AOC watched over by CAA
Please. This is degenerating into an airlines and routes thread. This forum is not like that!!!!
