It's a shame that we don't have a Stansted Nostalgia forum similar to the popular Luton Nostalgia as I think it would be a good thing to start especially by someone familiar with Stansted as it was all those years ago.

Yeah Sunday was the highlight at Stansted during the late 1970/80's.

On a Sunday Stansted would seem very exotic as far as the Scandinavian airlines were concerned with the likes of

Braathens 737 (the odd 767)
Busy Bee F27/737
Conair 720/A300/A320
Lynjeflyg F28
Mearsk 720, 737
Scanair DC8/DC10/A300 (later known as Premair)
Sterling 727, DC8, Caravelle
Transair 727, Caravelle
Transwede Caravelle.

SAS also operated quite a few of the Scanair flights with DC8, DC9, DC10, A300
Kar Air briefly with DC8
Finnair briefly with DC9

Sorry to digress but that era of Stansted's history will always bring back happy memories and that's not including what you might see over in the maintenance areas.
