Cheers Bean!

Now extremely dated in terms of racial attitudes, class distinctions and accents, but the footage taken on the ramp at Luton unintentionally captured (usually in the background) quite a variety of the aircraft and carriers of the period. Also, while some of the sound of the Britannia was probably dubbed, some at least conveyed the rumbling engine sound of the type quite well.

Back end of 1979 I was working for Airline Engineering at Luton. One day a new Portakabin appeared outside one of the hangars. Someone then sprayed it with dirty paint to make it look old.
Thought it strange, but later saw it was used in the Red-Air TV series.

I was staying in a hotel near to the M1 Jnc, it may no longer be there, hopefully!, where some hotel room shots were filmed. Came back one evening to find the hotel, had, without informing me in advance, kindly relocated all my stuff to another room. to enable the original to be used for filming...quite why I don't know.
However, amongst the cables and technical stuff draped along the corridor where the crew... and cast....along with a diverse selection of half empty bottles.
