Those were the days

Going back to the late 1960's I remember the Alitalia/Sam caravelles also Friday nights used to be very exciting with air Spain Britannia then dc8 then there were the spantax Coronado ......oh and fab restaurant below control tower with views ! I will never forget GAVYE trident and the fantastic Boac vc10,BMW dc9-15 to LHR,I was there for last BA viscount
I do also remember siting round for hours with nothing landing or taking off ! In fact I remember even in the early 1980's on a Sunday the 1st arrival of days wasn't till after midday....
Does anyone else remember servern air herons ?
