Printed monthly flight movements document

[Gary777]

Whenever I went along to the airport spotters shop I used to buy a monthly flight movement document for around 50p which was very useful. Is there another way of receiving these listings, either by subscribing monthly or downloading at a fee, rather than having to visit the airport. Thanks Gary

Yep remember it well - a chap called Adrian Myatt used to do it for several years, what ever happened to him.

I would love to communicate with him, as he may remember me from the mil airfield map books I created and he brought off me, also a book prospect for Birmingham Airport Diversions - I completed all the prep work for that book and Ade was going to do the rest.

What nice posts, Ive still got some of those old monthly time tables tucked away in the back of the wardrobe showing the likes of Spantax, Aviaco, Wardair, JAT and of course Monarch etc, happy times.

Interesting. I was talking about the A4 white sheets of a few years sgo, but the folded red and blue I remember well and still have one from around 1973. Gary

Oh yes I remember these! Sold at the counter and do I also remember a cafe opposite the counter too? Such great memories as a child. I used to pray that one month I'd see a 747 on the front sheet that listed all the plane types. It never happened with the copies I purchased!

I remember there used to be a notice board outside the aviation shop in the viewing gallery that had all the interesting/unusual movements for the upcoming week.

No 747 but there used to be the S VC10 to New York.

The product I created was in A5 paper/clipped type - I named it Military Aircarft of Britain inside was a map of said airfield with info about it including viewing loactions, I set it out alphabeticaly starting with Aberporth (I think) I did about 50 copies I think and sold them to AJ at the hobby center.

I well remember the Super VC10s and bunking off work as as a spotty apprentice at the BSA in Small Heath to see them, they originally operated via Manchester and then Prestwick before BOAC gave up due to abismal loads.

Remember the first 747 I saw at BHX was an Aer Lingus from Cardiff diversion that was coming over for the Rugby, EI-ASJ stood on the car park roof then headed down to the spiral steps, happy days

Drop me PM and I will send you Ade Myatt's details

 

[Creguk]

I think I am a bit too young to remember the VC10s. My first 747 was an Olympic Airways and I was down at Marston Green with quite a few people! I have photographs somewhere!
