    I have some slides, I will just have to find the right box and scan them in. It might take a day or two.

    I would hazard a guess that the Intra DC 3 was MHJ. I also flew on this in 1975, it was an Ian Allan organised trip from Gatwick to Tower Bridge and back. Great memories of the starboard engine producing a great sheet of flame on start up and everything vibrating like crazy, but a great trip and embedded in my memory for ever!!

    MHJ sounds about right. The main thing I remember of the day was waiting for about 6 hours at Gatwick for the fog to lift, We finally got airborne in the dark. Then it was a 5 hour drive home.
