    R.A.F Vc-10s are named after Victoria Cross winners IRC.

    Some aircraft registrations are the initials of directors or a pilot 😉

    Do you know what film?

    It was for an ITV show with Ross Kemp (Grant Mitchell) called Ultimate Force. Think he plays an SAS (not the airline 😀 ) guy in it.

    I recall ATA and Canada 3000 used 757’s tansatlantic from BFS. Think when an aircraft went tech there may have been a 727 used once but im not sure.

    Found this website among my bookmarks. It has an extensive database of airlines, old and new, with some pictures.

    Why was it at Gatwick? there was a TV programme (cant remember which) at the time that had a competition, the prize being a trip in a Spitfire, I just happened to be there that day when the winner of the comp got his trip

    Dave.

    Hi all. First time poster:)

    You’re spot on Dave. It was ML407. We have the programme recorded on cassette here in the house and when I read your post it sounded familiar. It was for a programme called Airport 90 which ran for a weekend live from Gatwick. The Spitfire was flown by Peter ? I couldnt make out the last name sorry.

    Hope I’ve been of some use:)
