Stansted memories
This is turning into a Stansted History and Nostalgia thread.
However, my memories go back to the 1950's when spotting at Stansted meant spending the day looking at a number of derelict Tudor fuselages, wondering if anything was ever going to turn up. There was no apron, aircraft still parked in the old war time dispersal stands.
On one occasion, it was a Monday, I wandered into the operations/terminal Nissan type hut to discover that nothing was scheduled to arrive until Wednesday.
Another time after spending most of the day watching only a BOAC Stratocruiser doing circuits, an Air Charter Supertrader landed out of the gloom to finally make it worthwhile.
Stansted for me has always had a special fascination, but as a die hard SEN supporter, I only wish some of it's current success would rub off on us.
