Long gone AMY at NCL back in 94! Would love some more pics or info of AMY's Ops at NCL...http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4021/4231523747_5bf71c3dd8_o.jpg

[ash666]

Is that a Braathens plane next to it?

[Jamesair]

It sure is...they used to fly to Oslo/Stavanger and Bergen from NCL. I didn't realise what an attractive livery Ambassador had.

[ash666]

What sort of plane is the AMY?

Anyone remember Inex Adria?

[anthbower1234]

757-200 G-budz

[anthbower1234]

They sure were good looking! 737 Fleet only had yellow band and the a320's where all white only the 757's flew in full colours..they had been due to lease a Nordic Tristar for summer 95 to start long haul ops but with the demise it never happened! Would love to have seen the old three holer in AMY's full livery

[anthbower1234]

SX-BSJ ONLY VISTED NCL ONCE I BELIEVE OR IT MAY HAVE BEEN BSH HOWEVER THE LIVERY FALLS SHORT! SEEN AT MAN

These photos are amazing! Looks like NCL had a lot more variety then! Anyone know if there is any new charter routes or airlines planned for next summer?

[CentreFix25]

Great pics Anth - keep them coming!

[CKT789]

Great photos, brings back memories of that great viewing terrace they used to have.

[ZOOKER]

Great pictures!
Is that the young Jimmy Nail, extreme right, under Mike Foxtrot's tail-plane?

[fleigle]

Great pics !.
Has anyone got any late 60's Britannia pics from NCL ??

[TEEEJ]

Nice images, Anthbower. :ok: Any chance you could re-size the outsize images to the max permitted size? 850 max wide as per the sticky.

No Hi Viz jackets!!!

How did all those people not get run over or sucked into an engine????? Crikey it's any wonder anybody is still left alive.;)

[SpringHeeledJack]

In the photo with the Airtours MD-80whatever in the foreground, what are the two propeller jobs in the far left background ? They look like RAF Britannias to my eye, though more than likely old Monarch examples.

Nice picture of the Ward 742... can anyone tell me what route it flew and for how long?

[SWBKCB]

SHJ

They're HS.748's stored on the southside at Manchester - think the hangar was Kilroe's?

[Invicta DC4]

The Wardair 747's flew to Toronto either via Birmingham or Prestwick both ways in the mid 1980s IIRC.

[jamesbilluk]

Fantastic pictures 'anthbower'

Really interested to see the Cyprus airways 707 too, I used to go on there old A310's

Keep em coming they're great :ok:

The quality is fantastic, there is a well known web database of 'Airliners' you should get them uploaded.

[ash666]

the Aviogenex certainly takes me back.

[Miles Gustaph]

What a great photo history of NCL!

What is scary is how many of the airlines in the photos don't exist any more!

[JKKne]

Adding my congratulations on the photo's, it's the most interesting thread I've read on any forum in a long long time.

I wonder if the Airport itself would be interested to see these and have some sort of timeline display in the departure lounge of all the aircraft (and airlines) that have been and gone.

Dan Air and Orion brings back many many memories

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

<<The quality is fantastic, there is a well known web database of 'Airliners' you should get them uploaded.>>

I know from bitter experience that few would make it onto the major sites. They look for a) technical excellence, i.e focus, levels, etc., b) aircraft must be centred on the frame and c) they must be level, i.e. the surrounding terrain must be horizontal or any buildings must be perpendicular. However, a few minutes with Photoshop would sort them out..

If he levels them and slightly adjust the contrast, Air Britain pics is more concerned with the aeronautical content that photographic excellence so they would get in there probably.

Lastly, Fotopic provides free photo albums so that everyone can access them on line. Might be an idea to upload them there...

[Peamasher]

If you are not already aware of it, have a look at Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing (http://www.flickr.com) where there is a group called 'Airlines- Bankrupt, Extinct, Orphan Former'. Numerous photos of aircraft belonging to long-gone airlines from all over the world. Your photos would be welcome additions to the group and it is a fascinating collection to browse.

[CentreFix25]

Any pics of the diverted heavies parked up?

[chris50]

young man a few great pics there great stuff :D:Dflown on a lot of them
cheers thank you chris:)

[MAN_Dispatcher]

Fantastic memories, here - many thanks for uploading all these photos!

I have a few from 1985-1992ish, so will have a look through them in the next couple of weeks and hopefully get them posted. I'm sure I have one of an Ambassador B752 next to an Airtours one which will hopefully be of interest to you.

As much as I liked the Ambassador colours and seeing their 757s, I was much more excited when a new 727 operator appeared in 1994/95 - Sabre! Standing in the field near the metro line and having one of these or a Maersk Air (UK) BAC One Eleven taking off was one hell of a buzz! Happy days...

[G-BPED]

[quote=KieranAJ;6133839]I have a few. I'm not a professional photographer, took these on my phone./quote]

Hi KieranAJ,

Great to see pics from other contributors.

However there is a pic size limit on PPRuNe of 850x850.

This ensures that pics fit the page correctly and make for easy viewing for us all.

Please continue to post pics but, ensure they are formatted correctly.

Regards,

G-BPED.

[PPRuNe Pop]

Great pics yes, but the size is wrong. Please adjust them to no more than 850x850 - that is the limit on PPRuNe. It stretches the page laterally which is not acceptable.

PPP

[Planemike]

Kieran.........

Welcome to the Forum.

You do well, I would have no idea how to make a picture of mine appear on here and even less of an idea as to how to alter it's size, either bigger or smaller!!!

Planemike

[PPRuNe Pop]

Planemike,

That shows that you do not read the forum. Take a look at the top of the first page. There is a thread on posting pics.

[Planemike]

PPruNe Pop..........

Thanks for the encouragement !!! Correct, I have not read it. Even if I had read it I would be none the wiser, just beyond my capabilities. I am not "techie" !!!

[Doobry Firkin]

First up, i've been enjoying this thread for awhile now. Brings back some memories from my youth.
Second, has anyone got any pics of the F3 from Leeming (23 Sqn i think, memory is a bit hazy) that made an emergency landing at Newcastle in the early 90's after a bit of a mid air incident over Northumberland.
I spent a night looking after it and inspected the engines for the crew resulting in the No2 being changed.

Cheers all
