I lived in Liverpool and as a kid I remember getting the train from Lime St stn to Piccadilly I think it was....then a very long around the houses bus ride to Ringway...must have been around 1966,
So exciting for 2 boys of 11...would any parents allow it today???
So very interesting a.c to be seen that we just didn't see at our local Speke as it was then...now John Lennon airport,
I had just got a hugeVHF Skymaster airband from Volstatic for my birthday...not many about then...had to take it to the tels room to be passed fit for use on the airport c/w a sticker for it...had to carry it on my back in a rucksack it was so big...every so often the fed ATC through the PA,
I to remember the screaming Darts as well in the BEA Viscounts andArgosys, also in the Heralds the Frendships the 748s ect...the Pan Am BOAC TWA and World Airways 707s...and the VC-10s Mmmmm
