Re: Nostalgic spotting gear............

Thanks Pete.
The picture certainly brings back many happy memories. I remember having to buy new batteries the day after Boxing day.
Not because of usage, but because I'd left it switched on overnight!!

Good to hear from you,

All the best,

Eric

Re: Nostalgic spotting gear............

Sounds like a Shorrock Mark 5 receiver. I was given one for Christmas in the 1960's, and I took it everywhere.
Finally had to replace it with the Mark 6, which was half the size, but more expensive.
You're right about the aerial. It was very long.

Happy days,

Eric

Re: Heathrow in the early 1970s - some scanned slides

These are great pictures that evoke wonderful memories of 'real' spotting at Heathrow
My first visit was in the sixties, and I well remember Air France Deux Ponts, British Eagle Viscounts and Britannia's, and BEA Heralds to name but a few.

Happy days,

Regards, Eric

Re: EDI 15.2.16

Excellent photos from one of my favourite airports.
Where did you take the parked biz Jet photo from?
