I’m glad we got that sorted out civilspotter and maybe that little spell I lived in Bussum, Nord Holland repaid me a visit as well:rolleyes::).Happy days I recall watching football in a pub in Amsterdam called the “three musketeers” run by some ex-pats near to the central station.

Some lovely photos again from yourself,HP81 and Darren.Tot de kikje junge,een boralje on ma bonatje.Dont know if that little blurb is correct as it was in 77 during my roaming days,but you get my gist….Cheers….JB:cool::):confused:

Hi civilspotter and I have just got round to looking at this thread again to answer your question.Yes I am positive it was the same 727 shot in the magazine,”classic Airliner” which if I’m certain it said it was the second issue.It was at the back in an article which covered the history of Newcastle Airport or it was highlighting some photos taken at Birmingham airport, am a little uncertain now as its a couple of days now since I glanced through the copy. Unless someone else took the same photo from the exact spot,”which I doubt” then the photo is yours I’m certain.

Do you give copy images to any libraries of your images?.Your D.C8s were magic to see as were your J.A.T stuff Darren.In the mid seventies these used to fly into Newcastle a lot during the summer holiday season and the flight staff were always kind to give us some free bottles of their lager which was still a treat and rarity in those days.My one regret now from those times in the 70s was not being interested in photography.:confused:

Yep your on the money civilspotter about that error and I keep making the same mistake over and over with that one.Anyhow that dan air 727 is now a world famous photo as theres no mistaking to a sighting of the same photograph I saw in the second issue of “classic airliner” in Smiths this afternoon.

The Bristol freighter is a very nostalgic shot and I remember one of these as a kit to build and a certain viewer will find the il 62 bearing his site name interesting.Thanks for sharing such good scans from the past .Cheers,.JB.:)
