28/2/71

22/04, yes, the Five Nations England-France matches were a good bet for French airliners, although the match was only played at Twickenham alternate years in those days (might still be - not sure as I'm not a rugby fan). 28/2/71 also brought in Europe Aero Service Herald F-BLOY, Trans Union DC-6 F-BNUZ, SATA Convair 640 HB-IMM as well as the Catair Connie F-BHMI. Last time I saw a Connie at LTN.


G-AYSI - yes, I recall it being the first Britannia AW aircraft in their new red and blue scheme. I believe it was a year later that the first 737 adopted this scheme - G-AZNZ purchased from United delivered 1/3/72.
