Re: BN Islander 50 years young

Islander EI-BBR at Sywell, not sure of the date but as it's a B&W it was taken pre 1973.

Great photos. I was on XX507 inbound to Guernsey on 22 March 1978 when we were forced to turn back because of bad weather.

Nice selection. Checking through my archive I can throw entries in for 7 of these. Not great quality but it's taking part that counts - right?

Re: Heathrow 1980s

Great set of photos. I spent some time there during 1977/8 taking photos and when detached from Northolt to look after the HS125s while our runway was being resurfaced.

Re: Heathrow

Brings back memories. I used to go down from Northolt on my afternoons off and spend time on the viewing terrace which was on 'Queens Building' ? Spent some time working out of a portacabin at Fields when our runway was closed for resurfacing and we operated the 32 Squadron HS125s from LHR.
