Eric Morecambe lived in a very nice area in Harpenden, prime 4+ holidays a year area yet kick up about airport noise. Having been in a garden in Harpenden when a so called hush kitted ROMBAC 1-11 took of from RW26 on a WOBUN SID, I don't blame him!
Yes, N73M would / maybe still is Mining 7 c/s.
Wobun SID always fun off 26, left, left, left, full throttle over Harpenden.
737-200s you would remember well, BY did a Liverpool for a while and the original Ryanair before they moved most ops over to Essex.
Downwind to 08 everything would come over Harpenden as well. Halcyon Days! :-)
But then alot of people worked at Hatfield & Luton but remember Radlett fondly, but times change.
