Just found this lurking in my old negative collection, G-BBYM at Gatwick 1977/8

Everybody needs a friend on a damp day at Heathrow

4 for your enjoyment: Simbair 707, Air Nauru 727, Royal Brunei 737, Flying Tigers 747. http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/aircraft/Simbair70702.jpg http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/aircraft/AirNauru727-3.jpg http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/aircraf...

I've got a load of 707, 727, 737, and 747 taken at Kai Tak 1975-7. None of the newer stuff though. Will have a sort and try and pick some of the more unusual out.

Lovely aircraft. Apologies for the quality but these were taken on (if I remember correctly) a plastic camera back in the late 60's or very early 70's. Location was Sywell and I think there might have been 2 or 3 lined up at one time (when I didn't have my camera...) http://i478.photobucket.com/albu...

Just a thought but wouldn't it be possible to add a comments thread for each comp so that people can post when questions are fresh in the mind? Or is that another admin nightmare... Have to say I love the photos but I'm not as regular a visitor as I'd sometimes like so I hope you can see where I'm c...

Apologies for the quality, but it's quite a rare bird. Chinese Trident at Kai Tak in 1976. Couldn't always get down to the fence in time for photos so virtually all were taken from the window of my room overlooking the airport. http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/forum%20stuff/CAAC%20...

Glad you like them, unfortunately I haven't cared for the negs as much as I should so the quality is not too good after 39 years. All taken in 1976 from the window of my room at RAF Kai Tak.

I know I took a photo or two of the CV880 and think this is one of them. Note different engines and the nose down attitude of the nearest aircraft. Think the tail is thinner too. I may be wrong and it was a long time ago.

By request, a few photos of this lovely aircraft... http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/forum%20stuff/CL44/2015-02-13_41_zps4uo8rzp9.jpg http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/forum%20stuff/CL44/Kai%20Tak%20CL44%20Transmeridian%20Air%20Cargo_zpsd34mmvf2.jpg http://i478.pho...

Still sorting through piles of negatives and found these. Cathay Pacific 707 and Convair 880 by the blast fence outside the HAECo hangars. CP only had a couple of the Convairs left when I was there, New 747s and Tristars were coming on stream. Second picture is BOAC/British Airways 747 during the li...

I saw and photographed a few CL44s at Kai Tak 1975-7 if anyone is interested in seeing them.

Apart from 'The Wind Ship' which I went up to the fence to photograph all the rest were taken from my room at Kai Tak. Had a great view across the airport and the (in)famous approach.

Glad you like the old stuff, as for the Canadian C130 I've got a photo of 3 of them lined up at Kai Tak! Not sure if it's permitted here as they're military but maybe the mods won't notice

I think somebody on the forum likes these? All at Kai Tak c1976, apologies for the quality. N?52RG , VIP-AIR (Italian reg?) , N100WK , ? , N679RW (name on the nose 'The Wind Ship') http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/forum%20stuff/Gulfstreams/DanAirIAS_zps5a5cff41.jpg http://i478.phot...

Just wondering if any forumites might have a photo of this aircraft circa 1976 - it's the one I took my flying lessons in at Kai Tak. Reg might be VR-HGB but not sure (My log book is packed away in storage for now)

One from the archive from me, pair of CL44s with tails swung at Kai Tak in 1976.

Not sure if it's been mentioned before but some nice photos and plenty of info on this cargo carrier

CP Air 747 climbing out of Kai Tak after starting from the harbour end, skimming the roofs of Kowloon City and turning hard to port to climb out past the hills. c1976.

Never flew with them but remember lots of their aircraft from my time at Kai Tak
