Great pics, no butz.
Not seen this view before, 1949. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...irport%202.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e1...irport%203.jpg |
"The BCAL B707 parked on stand 1, nose out! I wasn't on duty but got a call from a mate so went to see it. Taxiway is wide enough for a B707."
I don't think it was a BCAL707 - quite- but a Caledonian one. It would be a BCAL one a little later- a short while after being a Caledonian//BUA one! |
There have been some really great photos put on here in the last week or two. Thanks everyone for taking the time to put the photos up and for the comments.
Also in the top right hand corner of the second photo by vintage ATCO is the remains of the old Italian POW camp. |
Hi LTNMAN,
The ex Italian POW camp you refer to in the picture, isn't that the area of the old Vauxhall training school ? |

I'm trying to add a photo of G-AYSI in Britannia colours but it won't upload. Can someone do it for me if I share the link ?
|
If it is already on a website then just provide an address to that website address here or PM me and I will have a look and see what I can do.

The Sunday invasion, sterlings, linjeflyg, braathens, this flight likely to be a Viking callsign? |

The S.A.S. DC-10's did indeed operate on behalf of Scanair (DK flight numbers, callsign "Viking") summer 1978 and summer 1979. 6 flights in'78, only 3 in '79 as I recall. Not on Sundays, though, Tuesdays mostly. See my post 664 http://www.pprune.org/8944482-post664.html
Best photo I have, unfortunately:- http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1458552122 LN-RKA LTN 25/7/78 |

Adding to info on some of these carriers as a PC at STN 1972/3 Brathens, Sterling, Conair were regulars, plus a number of stretched DC8's. The latter going to the states often en route from the Far East !

New to this game. Just been through the entire history. Would like to add a few bits if invited! Worked in ATC Luton from 1960-73 then flying out of Luton and my memory is jogged over many things. Names like Dizzy Adicott, Ken Cartwright, flying club bars, Ricky Brimecombe (SATCO).
Look forward to joining in. |
Welcome to this thread jpturner feel free to agree, disagree, butt in, correct statements, reminisce, tell stories or just read and enjoy the posts. :ok:

Something you will probably never see again, a hangar full of British made jets. Probably around 1983 McAlpine Hangar or possibly Lynton as I can't remember when they changed
