This thread has certainly taken me back, must go & dig out my old photos from the late 70's!
I happened on the thread looking for info on the most remarkable diversion I remember: Cycled up to Ringway one foggy evening having got wind of there being a "div" on to be confronted by a stunning site, B pier playing host to 5 ( yes five) Concordes. I'm sure my memory of this is accurate as I even remember counting them out by ear from home next morning!!!
Can anyone confirm my memory? Perhaps even provide more info or a date??
VC10's were always my fave, particularly the short fuselage ones when they came in crew-training, boy did they climb like homesick angels with nothing on-board...
