Not just at weekends in the summer - frequently on weekdays as well 10 am to 5 pm - ish. Am thinking mid-1970s, if not a little later. One thing I do recall was a guy who used to call any One-Eleven series 200 to 400 a "small BAC One-Eleven", while a 500 was just a "BAC One-Eleven". Fair enough, I guess.

When did the Queen's Building terrace close ? I was last there in 2002.
