Folks today, mainly go to Biggin for biz-jet activity. Back in the 1970’s early 1980’s there was a large number of Flying clubs and based lights, probably 150+. 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...

I have completed scanning all my collection of slide pictures taken over many, many years. I am gradually uploading some to FlickR. My latest album is now titled Douglas DC-3 Dakota C-47 Skytrain. Here are a few examples., which might tempt you to look further, maybe see an old favourite. Good luck,...

My first ever logging visit was to Heathrow, Queens Roof Gardens on 17th August 1971.
I had probably seen many rare aircraft over house going into there as a small child.
I have a vague memory, not verified, of seeing an aircraft sign writing over London.
Could that have happened?

Pete.

Super shots Nick.
I appreciate the skill you and others have at these nightshoots.

Pete.

Some good memories there. Nice to see Gambia, Hot-Air and Baltic.
Between 1988 - 1990 there was a constant bit of leasing between them.

Flying, I loved the large oval passenger windows for view compared to today.
thanks
Pete.

Thanks for posting.
I believe two are based, but those 3 Aeronca flying together is a sight.
