These are fantastic shots Stephen, thank you so much for sharing them with us all.

[Nighthawke]

You certainly are spoiling us - and please carry on as I am loving these. Nostalgic shots are alway welcome regardless of image quality, but these are of modern-day quality. Thanks from me too. Eagerly anticipating more...please!

[BringBackEGDG]

Thanks for all your positive comments they are most welcome. I had thought these colour slides were past accepting another edit but giving them a good clean and fifteen years of accrued editing skills gave me the impetus to have one final go. There are approximately fifty slides from Heathrow over two days. After which I will then create another post again containing approximately fifty slides from Gatwick from the same trip in 1971.

Keep enjoying.... Steve

Thanks Santa

SP-LSG looks good. That registration is still current on a 787 which has also been to Heathrow.

[Paultojo]

Those are fantastic, looks like access was a little easier 50 odd years ago ? keep them coming

Great pictures- takes me back to the sixties when I first started spotting 1963 to be precise- remember all the above going into LAP. Proper Aircraft- and great days- thanks for sharing.

very nice Stephen - and certainly brings back some distant memories of the good old days when access was easy and the varieties of aircraft were far more interesting.

thanks for posting them

Thanks Stephen. You are now getting within one month on which I was born with these photos. Really great to see the quality of these after nearly 50 years.
