    Started as an Trainee in 1980, couple of boring years on Avionics, then onto Engines in the hanger, which 24 years later was still the best job i ever had! Not on Carvairs through, they had all long gone except FW ( Big John). Heralds and Viscounts for me plus 6 months on the Belfast which was nice.

    Wow didnt realise it was that big!

    I wonder what happened to the “Travel Agent” type ones which were dotted around Southend Airport Terminal in the 70`s? I remeber one in the BAF Reservations office that had a cut away section were PAX and cars could be seen inside. 😀

    Hello Martin,

    Sounds like its gone to a good home!

    To post pictures reply to a thread using the “Go Advanced” button under the reply box. Then type what you want to say. Then a bit further down you will see a section “Attach Files” click on the box here “manage attachments” browse your file from your pc and click on upload. Thats it, give it a go its easy.

    There was and still is i believe a building opposite the old BAF Engineering Hanger. It was know in the 80`s as the “Tyler Building” and was a long storage building, it was then, and probably not now, full of Carvair Spares. 😮

    Bad luck Bruce, I wonder who won it, and what their intentions are with it?

    Slightly off topic, anyone know what happened to the one at Southend? Its the only one i have ever sat in.

    Oh nearly forgot…..that was 30+ years ago 🙂
