Civilian Aviation

Nicely captured under the lights, it's great to see these nostalgic shots of subjects which have long gone now.

Flew to Athens on G-BDIF in 1976, thanks for the post.

A great shot and it brings back so many memories (some good, some not so good) of working at Edinburgh Airport.
I only flew on one Dan Air Comet and that was G-AYWX on a drunken day trip to Alicante and back after those nice chaps at Servisair chaps invited me along on 03/12/77. There wasn't enough seats on the way back, so I came back in a jump-seat in the cockpit and it was wonderful.

What 'in flight entertainment'?

The nice stewardesses kept me well fed and 'watered' all the way back, I knew them all very well and they used to have great parties at the flat they shared.
