ok thought id have a dig through my old timetables and photos from over 20 years back! they were all hidden away at my fathers but thought id share them on here. These first pics are from euro96. I spent the whole day next to the tunnel right from when the AOL dc10 landed at around 9am through to when flights started to depart late Eve! Also witnessed the famous Concorde late touchdown,landing runway 32 he got his front wheels down just before the old runway intersection!

I have stacks of pictures,timetables so will keep loading them on over time

The handy air supply timetables I so looked forward to purchasing esp to see if they had been any new announcements! Social media and the like was not really around then so Ken and his timetables were v.useful! In the pics u can see a rather quite winter 95 and summer 95 you can see the air Transat 757 to toronto

I used to really like the Air Supply timetables. Very useful in pre internet days. I stand to be corrected on this, but I’m sure Ken once told me that they were compiled by a guy named Jonathan Hinkles, who is now the senior figure at Loganair.

 

[LBA4EVER]

yes I had a look and your right jonathan hinkles compiled them.

I was there that evening as a 9year old!

Not ,masses of traffic that we see these days but the 707 was definately one worth waiting for. The 707 would really gave the swampies or extinction rebellion as they're now known something to moan about with all that soot coming out of their exhorts when they departed. Those were the days.

I probably was too. I spent many weekends stood where those photos were taken. Happy days!

 

[mdobuk21]

Great days! Many happy hours spent waiting for a rumour to turn up!

Ah the rumour board in Mike and Andy's Air Supply shop. A quick pop in there to see the latest before dashing up to watch the circuit traffic and a natter with the lads (mostly).

I remember waiting hours for Balkan929 arriving one soaking wet Saturday tea-time. I went and sheltered by Yeadon Tarn in a brick shelter. Those were the days....
