I just love eating my lunch from a cardboard box….consisting of packet of crisps, juice, minging sandwich wrapped in cling film, oh and a pack of custard creams…yummy! All the cabin crew on my flight were wearing flying overalls for some odd reason. I cracked a joke with one of the Corporals and I thought I was going to get booted of the jet at FL370 somewhere over Croatia 😉 Although having flown with the Crabs many other times on VC-10’s and Timmy’s they were ok, just had a crap flight a while back and they are the one’s that stick in the mind.

I’m guessing that the ‘trolley dollies’ are a “stranger to Immac” ? 😉

I always remember that terrible Trident crash in Staines in 1972 everytime i see a picture of a BEA Trident

I was only one and a half when that happened, so no memories of it. I love seeing these old shots of my local airports though. A shame I missed the BEA/BOAC era but still glad to have been around to catch all the red tail era.:cool:

Me too Steve. I will never forget the tail piece sitting in the field, that was all that was left. The rest charred and melted metal framework.

Here’s the story from the BBC.

CLICK.

I just love these types of shots, those were the days when you went to the airport and there was more than just the 2 dominant types (Airbus and Boeing). I used to fly from Belfast to Heathrow in the great Trident, still love the look of that jet. If it make you feel any better, having flown in an RAF Tristar recently, they are still noisey inside and with the RAF the cabin service is not as pretty!!!!

Thanks for sharing
