LTNman for God's sake change your handle it's a red rag to the local fanboys on every thread you post on.
Yes you are spot on, the name is a red rag to many and yes a bad choice of names but after 4000 posts I can handle it. Actually I would say
compton3bravo is actually a Luton boy at heart so I know he means well.
STN's come along away from the early 70's with only Channel airways tridents, 1-11's and comets which went bust soon after
then came Lloyd (who also went bust) and BMA British Midland with some old ex Pan Am 707-321's for some long haul ABC charters out of the sheds (terminal) with some ONA TIA Saturn AFA Airlift DC-8 charters too and wardair's 707 to Canada
Caravelles of Transeuropa for Tom Hill and Lyons tours holidays
you had the weekend/Sunday Scandinavian flights sterling sas/scanair air viking
but that was it really
Yes but don't you think Stansted was a more interesting place in the 70's than it is now. I can remember walking across a couple of fields and standing underneath an African Safari DC8. Fence, what fence?
