Britannia 707s

I recall unloading a BY 707 in July/August 1972 (?), recently arrived from Georgetown, Guyana. I think it was a regular service, in addition to LAX.

Speaking of peak days due to sports events, there was a Dutch invasion in the early 70s (?) which involved Transavia, KLM & Martinair - Caravelles, DC-8, DC-8-63, DC-9 & F28.

LTNman - I enjoyed the Clarkson's film. Just to think - 4 years on they had gone bust, and Greece had had a revolution. Then later, Jugoslavia descended into mayhem and Dubrovnik was a theatre of war.

When the Heralds were withdrawn, they all returned to Luton one Saturday morning and carried out a "display", calling up "Herald Formation". I wonder if there are any photos of that.

LTNman,

Nice video of the Court TriStar delivery. From the film, it looks as though it taxied in via the eastern taxiway (now Charlie). Anyone know why it didn't use Bravo?

LTNman -

Your first photo must have been taken in the early 1960s. However, the second must also be a 1960s shot, as Autair re-branded to Court Line in early 1970 and the Autair desks are clear in...
