I just can’t see the new owners letting an iconic title like ‘Aeroplane’ fade into oblivion

My understanding is that the photographic and magazine issue archives of Flight and Aeroplane retained their separate identities, those of the latter becoming attached to Aeroplane Monthly. All the 100 years of Flight magazine issues were digitized free online in 2009 and a few hundred Flight photos put online too, but not so for Aeroplane. Aeroplane Monthly issues did of course access Flight photos to illustrate articles as could any publisher for a fee.
Tell me if I’m wrong

If you put them to auction online or auction-house cover yourself with a reserve price

If there’s no emotional attachment to them sell them on ebay or via an auction house like Dominic Winter (but state the reserve you want)…..they’re all scanned online at FlightGlobal archive but you might like to check with Flight if they have any missing pages in their 1910-1912 scans

Well I would guess the ‘AM’ package comes to Key with the whole 90+ year archive of the original Aeroplane magazines and photos….bummer that the former didn’t get scanned and archived online like the 100 years of ‘Flight’ magazine .

You’re kidding me!….how does anybody find anything useful on Facebook?

This must show the terminal building from the opposite direction to the screengrabs….think I popped in on the way back from Yeovilton Air Day 1971?

This was a little earlier, my first visit, Farnborough week 1958….showing the A30 traffic behind

And after this brief Blackbushe diversion , back to Heathrow Northside 1968

I did wonder if it was Ferryfield/Lydd or Manston for a bit then it clicked…..I used to yoyo up and down the A30 a bit….but these days I’m at the end of my tether 🙂

I think it’s Blackbushe (except for the Lockheed 14 by a control tower which is CF-TCJ Trans Canada Airlines so a stock film clip edited in)
The long straight road is the A30. Camouflaged C-47 (Dutch? Danish?) on tarmac (Blackbushe was mixed civil/military)
The big sign over the corrugated iron fence in the top still might even read ‘Blackbushe Airport’ 🙂

Bumping this ancient thread :-)…There’s a new book on the civil engineering development of Heathrow by Ian Anderson….not so much on the Northside as it was unambitious architecturally but brilliant on the serious engineering

Well there’s plenty more candidates for that list….the crew and supernumerary pilot on the Sioux Falls DC-10….Captain DW Phillips in VC-10 G-ASIX….the crew on the Continental 747 at Gatwick….the A330 glide to the Azores

The female First Officer on the Aloha 243 deserves a mention, too

I think most of it is on the net, though 🙂

It seems the second? airframe registered N3M (named ‘Hands Off’?) was destroyed in an airshow crash which Charles Daniels did not survive (in Virginia, October 1950)

CS-TLC had a radar nose by May 1959 so before that http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1025821/

Closest Connie by the hangars could be a Qantas 1049, the one behind a 749?…

Yes. shot from Queens Building roof, at ‘London Airport’ or L.A.P. as Heathrow was then called

EDIT…and a German site has the same photo dated September 1955 http://www.airlines-airliners.de/airliners/constellation/cs_tlc.jpg , may or may not be true

Here’s another view of the endplate wing N3M from a different file of scanned negatives in the Iredell County Public Library Flickr account seem to be two different airframes with that number, this one Cub-based the other Aeronca based?
