1960's Guernsey Visitors - Updated

Post by JezM » Mon Jan 29, 2024 7:58 pm

I've been sent the below images by David Lane for the sole purpose of sharing them with others - the images until now have lain unseen in his collection for many years.
Apologies for including 2 military beasts but I felt they were worth sharing (Mods - please feel free to remove as I know I've exceded the 10% rule).

A throwback to the sixties - G-ARVW Piper Pa.28-160 Cherokee 1964.

An unidentified Channel Airways Vickers Viscount taxis in to (or from) stand.

First registered in 1948 G-AKIU Percival Proctor V is seen here at Guernsey in 1964 & is after restoration still flying today.

This slightly blurred Cessna F-BJOH Guernsey is logged as having visited on 16/5/64.
