spacecadet Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 ..........and in 1979, behind the girl reading, when you could still go outside and look at the airliners without being shot. They've changed the sign. Demolished 2009, alas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inchiquin Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I was there in 1959 on a school outing. I wonder if I'm in that picture... Standing on the roof as an 11-year-old watching planes taking off was probably the most exciting thing I'd ever done. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Perhaps you are in this one? The children are more interested in the pool of water than the planes! Or this: Edited June 20, 2022 by geogphotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Hope I'm not muscling in here....could just have been 1959 but not in that livery........ Archival monochrome image of a Vickers Vanguard 953C Merchantman airliner in British Airways Cargo livery in the air at Heathrow Airport, London, 1979, with a view of Hunting-Clan Air Transport hangar, demolished 1986. Possibly G-APEP "Superb" now at Brooklands Museum Surrey England Edited June 20, 2022 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Standfast Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I had the Heathrow poster with all the air liners on it! A great day out for a kid! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
