Just struck me that the reason for the sequence of the first two photos, Lake Korrossion at the south of the island and the airport towards the north is that probably they were taken at the same...

Another recovery day from my cold today, but I heard back from the guy with the Gatwick tower logs and he's only reached March 1973, with the implication he's had to stop and the next few months may...

The neatest solution to this would be that the picture is of a trailing...

Sorry for going AWOL, I went down with a nasty cold during the afternoon and have only just lemsip maxed myself back into life.

I can't honestly say it wasn't a prop plane of some sort. You kind...

He was a camera enthusiast (Pentax SLR), and used a lot of lenses including wide angle and telephoto, and not unlikely he was using wide angle out of the window, it would make sense for landscape...

It wasn't a light aircraft or smaller airliner, I was on it and it was a holiday charter, so just on the basis of range it won't be a small prop or turboprop.

The Comet tailplane theory doesn't...

I don't think there's any window where you wouldn't get interference from the large engines on a shot of the leading edge. Probably the window isn't as big as it looks, there's just a corner of it...

I'm as sure as I can be at 50 years distance that it was a jet airliner. Just to dribble a little bit more info in, the types flying charters to Greece at that time would have been 1-11, Comet 4x,...
