Aberdeen Airport 1986

My one and only visit to Aberdeen Airport in September 1986. Considered to be one of the busiest UK airfields for movements around that time. Something for helicopter fans.

Biggin Hill Early 1970's onward

There was the occasional foreign reg visitor ( mostly at the Air Fairs) and biz jets rarely seen. There was freedom to roam, if you behaved...
