In December 1970 my sister and I flew in a BOAC VC10 LHR to Bombay via Beirut and Abu Dhabi. I cannot recall how long it was unfortunately. I still have the menu for the flight somehwere.

Lovely shots. Difficult to pick a favourite as there are so many good ones.

Very nice Robert. I particularly liked the video of the landing and didn’t realise there were so many on Youtube. I was up a couple of weeks back on Flybe on the same approach and it was a foul dark night I literally could not make out were we were until we were down. Everything on the ground looked so unfamiliar (what little I could see) that I thought we had come in on the old runway.

There is an amazing view up there but not for serious photography I don’t think. Using the Binocs there, I could see a KC-135 at Nellis and of course there is a good view of the airport and also the General Aviation Field. The view inside was pretty good too if the same attendant is still operating the machine for people jumping out with the wire attached to their backs.:diablo: Something my legs gave away at the thought of actually stepping off the platform and then a thousand plus foot drop.

Hello Steve,

Is this part of the large photo collection you were trying to get rid of in March last year?

Cheers

Cracking shots Gerry! That is a good angle on the Cargo Lion – where was that taken from?

Nice Pictures – I don’t see too many of Shannon.
