Sorry Giles but a lot of us on here hark back to the days when there were many different airlines and types of aircraft which visited or were based at Luton not the just three or four companies and either Airbus or Boeing so when some photographs appear from 30-40 years ago it pulls on the heart strings so to speak.
So - Personally I cannot remember seeing an Aeroflot Tu-134 at Luton only Aviogenex Tu-134s mainly on Saturdays parked on the pond and to be pedantic the Boeing 707s of Monarch and Maof are B720Bs and the Redcoat Britannia is in fact CL-44 G-BRED - oh happy days!
Excellent news about Guernsey though - hopefully someone will pick up the Waterford route.
