Biggin Hill Early 1970's onward

Post by LondonEye » Tue Jan 02, 2024 5:49 pm

Folks today, mainly go to Biggin for biz-jet activity.
Back in the 1970’s early 1980’s there was a large number of Flying clubs and based lights, probably 150+.
There was the occasional foreign reg visitor ( mostly at the Air Fairs) and biz jets rarely seen. There was freedom to roam, if you behaved.
So here a large selection from that period, things that prod my old memory. Hopefully, might shake a few of you.
Pete.

Wowzers! What a great post, I really enjoyed looking at those images. I have to confess that there are a couple of types there that I have never heard of.....or maybe forgotten about.
Thanks for sharing. :)

Wonderful selection there. I actually photographed G-STAR at Northolt in 1978. Those were the days.

Love the Aero 45 and the Whitbread Navajo. Plus I never knew there was a Paraguayan Basset. Two words I never thought I would string together. Great collection.
