I was sent to ( private but not posh ! ) school near Leeds-Bradford & ‘Lived’ at the airport most weekends in ‘73 / ‘74.
Northeast had a maintenance hanger & after a while of us asking to look at the aircraft , the techies were used to us and we were allowed in and onto the Viscounts. Leeds - Bradford had a lot of Viscounts back then & we also knew that if Leeds United were playing away somewhere distant , we could look forward to a visit from one in Alidair markings. I have been in lots of viscounts but never flew in one , sadly. I DID used to fly home to Glasgow in a Dart powered HS-748 tho’. |

I was up there weekends and school hols from August 74 until I left the area on starting work in the Civil Service in 1978. |
