South Apron-Supplementary parking!!
During the 1970's Dan Air B707's were regular visitors on crew training.The aircraft parked on a few occasions on the south apron..and if memory is correct was even nose in ,partially inside the Gill hangar for a spot of maintenance once !!
The most large aircraft I remember on that apron at the same time were 3 Britannia's,3 Ambassadors and a DC3.
The only physical difference then,was the apron had an additional taxiway on to the runway west of the current foxtrot taxiway.This was removed late 70's to facilitate a new glide path building for the 07 ILS.
Over to you Mac..any more memories??
