Stansted, Late 80s
Just three from a place I rarely visited. Think this was a drop in after visiting Duxford. The only decent photo I got of a Belfast. I believe the F-27 is currently on display at Norwich. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52253321256_647e42e66f_c.jpg G-BEPS Shorts SC.1 Belfast Heavylift 1987 Stans...

A quick visit to the grass area and then fall asleep in the terminal until it was time to catch the coach back North. Here's a shot through the fence aft...

Heathrow in the 80s and 90s
Here's a few at Heathrow from the 80s and 90s, mainly taken from the Queens Building and car parks. Quality on some is iffy, but it's all about the content. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51858907200_59a9d4b9e5_c.jpg OK-CFH Tu 134 CSA 1980s Heathrow by Andy Bird , on Flickr https://live.staticf...

A trip to to the 1987 Ramstein show saw a visit to Frankfurt as well. Plenty of classics and in the background the Rhein-Main Air Base. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51177935055_4e6daf3869_c.jpg ZS-SAN B747 South Arican Airways May 1987 Frankfurt by Andy Bird , on Flickr https://live.staticfli...

Not a sight often seen but on this day, with strong crosswinds, runway 23 was in use and we were treated to aircraft landing directly in front of the Queens Building. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51173299518_d6516e374a_c.jpg JA8163 B747 JAL June 1976 Heathrow by Andy Bird , on Flickr

Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester
More old slides from my collection. Totally random, as they cam out the box. The older ones are not great quality but the content brings back good memories of the views we could get from the spectator terraces at Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50983637157_6c6cc...
