what about Ronnie Verrell, reckoned at the time to be the equal of Gene Krupa,
if you click on ‘further details’ it says it’s compatible,
according to Warehouse Express it will work

checking my SBS log the departing Emirates 380 was airborne at that time but normally goes out via Dover,
sorry I can’t be of any help,
ps there was a Virgin A346 about at that time but there’s no way you could mix the 2 up
thanks,
at the moment after a lot of thought I’ve settled on getting the Nikon 70-300 A-FS VR,
I did consider the Tamron 28-300 but the one with image stablisation is more money
sorry, yes they would be zoom lenses, I spose I would be talking about diverse venues like Heathrow and Duxford
It’s interesting to me because I only recently discovered I had a half brother and I know very little about him,
do you know why they were flying so low?
looks like the vulcan VX770 at Farnborough could be 52, 53 or 54,
Right place, right time, great photos!
Having a senior moment about the third photo, that wouldn’t be a Coronado in the left background?:confused:
no it’s a DC8
copied from the BBMF site
The last Hurricane ever built (of 14,533), PZ865 rolled off the production line at Langley, Buckinghamshire, in the summer of 1944 with the inscription ‘The Last of the Many’ on her port and starboard sides. The aircraft was almost immediately purchased back from the Air Ministry by Hawkers and initially mothballed, before being employed as a company communications and test aircraft. In 1950, wearing the civilian registration G-AMAU, it was entered in the Kings Cup Air Race by HRH Princess Margaret. Flown by Group Captain Peter Townsend it achieved second place. During the 1960s, PZ865 was returned to its wartime camouflage scheme and was used as a company ‘hack’ and communications aircraft. It appeared in ‘The Battle of Britain’ film and also made numerous display appearances, often in the hands of the famous fighter pilot and test pilot Bill Bedford. After a complete overhaul, PZ865 was flown to Coltishall in March 1972 and given to the Memorial Flight by Hawker Siddeley. For many years the aircraft appeared as ‘The Last of the Many’ but eventually the inscription was removed and put on display in the BBMF headquarters.
hope this helps
wasn’t it built as MAU and used by Hawker
Another showing BOAC Boeing Stratocruisers had James Robertson Justice in it as a Captain. Seen recently on the box, but can’t remember the film’s name.

Out of the Clouds?
8 miles out as it went over me it seemed much quieter than others like 747 A340,
currently using 27s, so it looks like it will land on 27L,
From memory, LHR started civilian operations in the late 40’s (1947?), and the hard runways were already there as the airfield had been under construction as a transport base right at the end of the war.
I was under the impression that LHR was always envisaged as London’s airport,
it was built using wartime regulations to acquire the land,
