My “Computer Dad” at work fond these pictures in a shoe box at the back of a wardrobe recently. He thought I’d like to see them and with his permission I’m going to show them to you!
Don’t know the date perhaps some body out there might be able to help?
Do any of the aircraft survive?
Don’t know weather these should be in the vintage bit aswell!!!

These pictures were taken at MAN because of diversions FROM Gatwick.
Sorry if I confused you!!!!

You do realise that these pictures were taken at Manchester, don’t you? 🙂
I have to say Manchester crossed my mind. The red buildings in the BAF Viscount pic look like the Manchester cargo area. Nice pictures though.

I think the Pan Am livery and font size would have us in the mid-late 80’s…
I think you’re on the mark there!!

Nice memories of the days when Gatwick had a decent viewing deck and variety consisted of more than the latest squeezybus….

Lovely!
Oh to see those beauties outside my LGW office window these days – would make a nice change from the endless stream of Virgin 747s, Squeezy Jet airbuses and Monarch 757s……
As a first guess I reckon the shots date back to the mid/late 1970’s?
