I must admit I don't remember seeing anything on the movement sheets about a B707 diverting in! When I left high school, I worked in the airport office for 18 months until I joined ATC in Flight Briefing. All the old movement logs were kept in storerooms over in the old wooden customs "sheds" and I spent many an hour of my free-time piling through the movements. Unless my brain is like a walnut, I dont remember the B707...oh well, I was only 9 years old that Christmas and had no interest in Aeroplanes until I was 11 (at high school).
I often wonder how we coped in ATC in those days when the weather was bad. I too helped Stevie Joel in BAF unload a Donaldson Britannia from Paris with 200 or so bags!
