Was that the day when they parked a couple of Olympic 727s in front of the terminal - where stands 16-17 are now - and also PH, as Ops 1, had a Tarom 1-11 parked up on the old taxiway to what would have been the threshold of 20 (I think it ran through what is now stand 100)?

No SBS in those days of course so we just listened to 133.7 and tried to hear what was holding around Brecon and looking to divert, or to the ops frequencies of Speedbird, Bealine, Servisair and possibly Manchester Handling to understand what was happening.

Oh the old days, we could even think of moving this whole thread to 'History and Nostalgia'.

ps - how about the long outstanding pint that I owe you? Send me a PM.

Cheers for now.

Scottie (very old) Dog.
