I found these that may be of interest to many airliner fans here. I got quite excited at discovering these. Forgotten how many interesting airlines and types passed through Gatwick around 40 years ago. Enjoy.
First, some gatwick ones. All taken up to the mid 1070's/.Some with my then new Zenit E and a few (the smaller square ones) with my Instamatic.
Tupolev TU-134 LZ-TUK Balkan Bulgarian.
Viscount G-ARGR in Turkish carrier Bursa Hava Yollari colours (partial Alidair too!!) Note the IAS DC-8 freighter at back. That tree line, looking west and slightly north is all gone and part of the North Terminal area. Comet in foreground G-BDIT is ex RAF. Not sure about the others visible.
Boeing 707 N5772T Ex TWA. with Freight operator Tradewinds. The colour was a darkish blue.
Martinair DC-10. PH-MBP
C#
CAF C-130E and Intra DC-3 landing.
D-AMAS BAC 1-11.
DM-SCX(?) at Gatwick. A few of these operated here as well as Il-18 and occasionally an IL-62.
Canadian flights to LGW were very regular but not so much Air Canada whose DC-8 63 you see here. Mostly they were CAF, Pacific Western, Wardair and CP-Air
HB-IBS
Heathrow... B737-200
Heathrow Aer Lingus 737. I think thiw was a leased one from some where...? Note the Tridents... one with the newer BA colours starting to appear.
VT-39 Sabreliner. Note Olympic Boeing and Air Ceylon(??) in background.
