Well those certainly dusted off a few old memories! Thanks for posting - I'd forgotten about several of them.

Re: Stansted 31st May 1987
very nice Pete, that brings back memories - I was over there most Sundays to see the weekly Scandinavian charters. I was often working in the Stansted Aviation Society shop in the viewing enclosure (for those who have never heard that expression it's a designated area, usually with some facilities, provided for enthusiasts to enjoy their hobby with good views of the movements) we just didn't realise how good the viewing was then - oh for the good old days!
If you need the i.d.s of those 707s, I can probably find them out for you from the Stansted Air-Britain branch some of the members have immaculate records and logs going back that far.
thanks for posting them

Re: Stansted 31st May 1987
Well one of my Air Britain colleagues saw this and provided the answers before I even asked:
5Y-BFB is the jamboree or whatever (the green one) it later became D2-TOU
and the unmarked Angolan is 5Y-BFC became D2-TOV
both both first noted on 22nd March 1987
thanks to Nigel Kemp for the info
