Lovely photos nicely edited with some space around the aircraft, Frank/teddymax…..some of the best shots of British airliners in the 60s/70s have come from Germany in recent years from Ralf Manteufel and Peter Seefeld and now teddymax!

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your old great photos (Carvair,Viking,Britannia….).
Here now some more of my oldtimer photos.

The rear fuselage comes to more of a point than on the Lodestar…presumably Amiral d’Argenlieu’s liaison PV-1 ?

I think that’s where I got confused ref Darts an Tynes.

Argonaut, I agree with you, times have certainly changed. Some would argue that our part in the Airbus product is something we should be proud of, and I am, but it’s really not comparable with the likes of Comets, Concords, Vulcans and Lightnings, and to think, we built them all on our own;) Now that’s something I’m really proud of

Mmm…don’t forget Concorde was joint Anglo-French and if we hadn’t been locked into a treaty to build it it would had been dumped….it cost both Governments a LOT of money

Great link!….Bit cheeky that it’s already on Google books!…Didn’t know about the Dart DC-7 based Carvair development, but Douglas proposed a potential Tyne re-engining programme for the BOAC DC-7Cs as part of the sales ‘bait’. I think

Argonaut, many thanks for the pic. ‘Super Carvair’ details here:

Scroll down to page 46 onwards. Picture of a concept design on 48. For Tynes, substitute RR Darts.

There should be a second fuselage, probably somewhere in the Shetlands after a wheels-up landing.

Kind regards,

A few odds and ends from my late fathers photo album. The descriptions are his. All photos are taken at Masirah, in the Persian gulf, late 1940’s early 1950’s unless otherwise stated.

What a smashing collection of images., Am I right in thinking that there was a proposal by ATEL at one time, to build a ‘Super Carvair’ based on the conversion of DC7/7Cs, with RR Tyne turboprops? If so, I bet that it would have been something to see.

What was it that killed the Car ferry by air business? Hovercraft? BAF moved towards a pax and freight based business in the 70s so the nose loading became less important

Viscount 700 G-AMON came back into the BA fleet via Cambrian Airways which was absorbed into BEA just before BA was formed…. Viscount 700 G-AMOG was used in BOAC colours around 1970 as a shuttle between Prestwick and Edinburgh (I think
Edit….and you were spot on, Argonaut, G-AMON was used up in Scotland , too and in BOAC colours! 🙂http://www.flickr.com/photos/52467480@N08/6432747173/

and this photo of G-AMOG explains

Boeing 307 Stratoliner of Airnautic taxiing passed at Le Bourget in June 1963. A poor quality photograph but what an iconic aircraft!

Might be the one which visited Heathrow in 1957

I missed it! but I saw this rare Boeing in ’61

More Southend early Seventies

What was the I.D. of the Comet in your wreckage photos, teddymax?

Delta Air Transport were using some iconic propliners around the North Sea area in the early Seventies…Air Holdings, BAF’s parent company was involved in selling the Air Canada Vanguard fleet and several passed through Southend
