Luton 1970-1972
Would anyone happen to know what type of propeller driven aircraft were flying out of Luton between 1970 and 1972?

Put that question into https://www.pprune.org/aviation-history-nostalgia-86/ as there is a Luton thread there if you do a search.
actually I have done the search for you https://www.pprune.org/aviation-hist...algia-194.html |
If you mean airliners, mainly Britannias (Monarch, Redcoat, etc) and Invicta Vanguards. The odd Aer Turas CL-44, Balair DC-6, BMA Viscount & F27. On the freight side CV580, Shorts 330/360.
In terms of lighter aircraft, a much wider variety ranging from Fournier RF-4s and C150s up to DH Doves and Bandits. |
1970-72.
Off the top of my head..... BMA Viscounts Skyways/Dan-Air Avro 748s Monarch Airlines Bristol Britannia Britannia Airways Bristol Britannia Air Spain Bristol Britannia Channel Airways Vickers Viscounts Aer Turas AW Argosy, Bristol Freighter and DC-7s |
Those were the days, happy memories and not an Airbus or hi viz jacket in sight !!
|
A bit premature with the Shorts 330 LGS, first flight 1974!
|
My first ever flight aged 6 was in a BMA viscount LTN to GCI ; I remember holding on to my mothers hand! (1971)
