come on where’s Sir Freddi’s? must be a pic of one of his
flew to Miami in 1980 on an Intasun package holiday
think it was the norm, but Cambrian BAC1-11s had seats facing each other on both sides at the over wing emergency exits
also in the same era i flew on an Aviogenes TU-134A and the first 12 rows were made up of groups of 4 seats facing each other rather like a train.
Winter 2010 Thomas Cook were using a 767 on weekend ski flights Manchester to Turin, may be same this coming winter
and about 10 years ago Airtours used to use their DC10s to get cruise passengers to Palma and back, this may be the case now with Thomsons for their cruises out of they they may put a 767 or A330 on
didn’t know Jonny Depp’s dad worked for Douglas Corp
might have been an LTU one i saw in 82
went aboard at Yeovilton in 1995 on a day out when living at Plymouth
last time i can recall seeing a Caravelle was at Ibiza in 1982, not sure what airlione though
i have been a regular flyer into Filton over the last 4 years
there have been several MK DC-8s there, one was eventually scrapped there last year i think, unfortunately i was never there to see one take off
would say closest 707 is a 436 while the one further aways is a 300 series

It was interesting that BOAC bought 707s at a similar time to BEA getting Vanguards, around G-AP** reg issueing.
when did it become fashionable to change a red number when change of ownership?
ie the Invicta Vanguard kept its original reg, but nowadays as planes change airlines the reg changes more often than not
the British airtours one i went on in 1976 was a 420 series with the RR Conways fitted, sleaker cowls and strange jet pods on the rear, i could be wrong but i did the front set of blades in these engines not rotate when running?
great pics, think the dan air one is at Duxford but could be wrong
my first ever flight age 2, was Man to Jersey on a BEA vanguard in 1966
