Hi All

Here are a dozen from Heathrow taken during 1976 , not many of these still around

The Pan Am/Fields area was a great place back then for photos unlike today

Thanks for looking

Cheers

Definitely the good old days, with a greater variance of types. Nice to see the Electra, Vanguard and the Aeroflot different scheme.
I think the UTA DC8's operated some flights for Aer Lingus, early 70's.
Thanks
Pete.

Great stuff Paul, keep them coming please.

Great stuff indeed. Some of these were still around when I started in the mid-80s, but plenty weren't. Love the CL-44, the Conway-powered El-Al 707 and the UTA DC-8 particularly. Interesting to see the Cyprus DC-9 too - I presume it was on lease because I don't recall them buying any?

Delightful pictures, love the East European stuff in particular.

Thanks for the comments guys , glad you find them interesting

The UTA DC-8 was parked on the Fields aera ..note the open fromt door ..why ..no idea , but OK for a photo

Cyprus did indeed lease 2 DC-9-15s in 1975 for the LHR route they were N48200 and N54648

Thanks again for looking , will put some more up soon

Cheers

Fabulous set of old types and schemes - please keep posting.

I will sort some more out shortley ....any airline or aircraft in particular that I might have shots of that anyone is interested in

Love those 727's. One of the best looking airliners ever imho.

I love a nice Tristar if you have any of those?
I have a small number of photographs from Heathrow in the 80's and 90's, including a lovely one of a Pan Am 747sp but when I scan them they look very smal when I import them into a post on here. Is there a particular site that you can edit scanned pictures on?

A Flickr account is what you need - this should help :- http://www.civilianaviation.co.uk/forum ... =11&t=4446
