That Alitalia DC8 brings back memories - my father was PR for them and had all the press photos, big glossy 10x8 b&w. Wish I had them now. For Heathrow fans which may have missed my posts there's a bunch of stuff, 5 vols, which I posted a while back. Here's the link to Vol 1: http://www.civilianavia...

So many to choose from but I'll go with this oldie

Great photos, thanks for sharing. Wish I'd had a camera back in the early 60's but I was a bit young. Actually wish I had my dad's photos from when he was PR for Alitalia, quality photos of new DC8s etc and lots of movie stars etc. My first flight from Heathrow was Easter 1968 when we flew in a Brit...

Love it!!! A real blast seeing those colours. A common sight at EGCC throughout the early '80's, sadly missed To those of you too young to remember, and for us old'uns to reminisce , have a look at the many clips on You Tube of the landings at this historic airport. from memory there's a Korean 747...

The F28 at the end is still going.. I saw it a few years ago at Schiphol flying the government around the place. It was too far away from me to get a 1/2 decent shot of it. Have you any of the Andover/hs748's there? I flew on one of them in the 70's to RAE Beford on one engine, the capt. thought it...

Lovely memories Andy and I'm pretty sure I was there - even more so as there's someone in one of the photos that looks a bit like I would have done all those years ago. In the first photo I see the Land Rover crash wagon - I've got a few b&w of that and the larger fire tender they had for a time. Th...

I'll throw in this golden oldie; G-AWNH at LHR c1977-8. BOAC livery with BA titles.

Please don't ask me which marks these are as I have no idea. All were taken pre-1979; LHR and GTW are 1977-8 and Kai Tak are 1976-7. Royal Brunei, Malaysian Airline System, Air Nauru, China Airlines all at Kai Tak. Sabena and Aer Lingus at LHR, Britannia at GTW. http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr...

Apologies that my first photo has two DC10 in it :roll: Apologies also (as always) for the quality, but sometimes the content makes up for it. http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/forum%20stuff/DC10/ANA%20727_zpswtaowhtd.jpg http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/forum%20st...

And I found 1 more OO-TEG at Kai Tak 1976

A few from the distant past from me :roll: Saudi and Gulf Air at LHR c1978, Cathay and ANA at Kai Tak 1976. http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/aircraft/SaudiTristar.jpg http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/forum%20stuff/Cathay%20Tristar%20VR-HHK_zpsra2bevbm.jpg http://i...

Tiger tails at Kai Tak 1976; B747 and two DC8s

Here's couple from my archives, apologies for the quality

The only photo of an Islander I've got, date must be 1972 or earlier. Taken at Sywell.

Did the CAA operate any other 125 apart from G-AVDX? If not then I saw that particular aircraft many times when I was based at RAF Northolt. Whenever it appeared on the arrivals list we knew who the passengers would be, either Michael Foot or Tony Benn as they refused to fly in RAF aircraft.

I'll kick this months comp off with G-STAR, Northolt 1978. And no, I have no idea what aircraft it is... 20 May: Thanks to Wallie I now know this is a Ted Smith Aerostar 601P another pic here on Air Britain: http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1086163/ http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr148/waghorn41/for...

Well I'm suprised that out of all my negatives I can only find a solitary Airbus. Korean Airlines, Kai Tak 1977.

Think this OK Jet is a Tu134, the only TU photo I've got - if in fact it is a Tu134
