The Pan Ams were at LHR, they used to have a number of B727s based in Europe, as did TWA. When Pan Am was taken over by United the B727s were repainted and rotated with a number of different ones appearing on routes out of the UK.

Almost..correct about the IGS (Internal German Service) 727 but that picture was Frankfurt from memory…. 😉 as was the ASA Dc8.. most of the rest of the jet airliners were Heathrow, Nigeria F28 was Amsterdam, the connie was at Toussou (spelling?), the Dc7 and Britannia in bits were,I think, Dublin (not sure as we did Dub cork and shannon on that day trip!)…

hello all

P.S. they were asking around $190 Can. for it (about 95 pounds), so seemed a bit pricey…

the runway (and aircraft!!) will be pointing towards the postion on a compass that equates to 330 degrees… the wind will be comming fromthe direction of 280 degrees… rather than the ideal situation of the aircraft takign off directly in to the wind, the wind will be comming from the lefthand side at an angle across the runway… pilot will want to be aware of this so he can take it in to account during the take off run (or landing)..

one thing about BA and ‘its heritage’ is that its now the end product of numerous amalgams and buy-outs, few of which were welcome at the time (the engineering base was still split between BOAC and BEA areas when I was there :rolleyes: ), so personally I dont think there is such a direct link with its past as others have… for instance when they introduced beds in First class, the ‘marketeers’ spouted on about it being a ‘first’ for the industry..then someone pointed out that BOAC Stratocruisers had them.. :rolleyes: rather than playing on this ‘history of inovation’ or something, they made excuses about it not being the same thing etc etc and it was quietly forgotten.. 😀

Delta seem quite in to the ‘heritage’ side of things.. didnt they assist with the resotration of the first aircraft that Delta had operated, a DC3, by a group of retired staff.. they may even own/operate the aircraft ?? ref the BA collection, I believe they used to send their apprentice engineers down there reasonable regularly to at least clean the aircraft/kick the tyres.. dont know if they’ve quietly dropped that out of the curriculum…
