Well, reading about and posting about years 1969 to 1974 on here has made me realise that we all probably know each other! We were probably all there on Saturdays. I remember lots of spotters that I didn't know....but I knew exactly which bench they would be on the terraces!
I was on the end of "The International Pier" (Some youngsters on here callin it Pier B) when Ringway got it's first 747 Visit. In fact, I was half-way up the lighting tower at the end of the pier. Any pictures of the crowd that day will probably have me up the light!
And yes, I miss those Rubber tiles which if you dragged your toe along, made an excellent raspberry fart!
I miss the Brown vinyl chairs, the Chandeliers of course, and the fins with Airlines on.
