I worked in ATC flight briefing at East Mids' during 1975/'76. Other names I remember were, Dave? Moores, Helmut Popp.
Captains Hardy and Van Den Elst were on 707s and earlier in the '70s there was a Captain Austin on 1-11s.
I also remember Andy Bettison, Paul (with blonde hair) and Richard King from BMA flight dispatch.
In 1970-'72 a group of us spent many hours spotting at the airport. We gopt to know many of the staff there.
From BMA I remember several of the ground staff from the days of the bright orange uniforms.
There was Pat? Chappell, (drove a Ford Prefect), and 2 other ladies, Lavinia and Judy. Judy kindly gave me a whole pile of advertising material, including a bill-board sized 1-11 tail poster that covered my entire bedroom wall! I believe she came from Long Eaton, and for some reason, I still remember her car. It was a blue Ford Anglia, 635 XAL.
