Queries-

sorry for the double gap? I don't know what I've done...stay safe.

When LHR had a great variety of aircraft types to be seen, as opposed to the Boeing / Airbus duopoly of today. And, yes the light types to add a bit more spice to the mix.
I'd try:  www.lhr-lgw.co.uk/    for your query and see if it can help,

hi,

thanks very much, never thought about K, tried V but there isn't one... and in mitigation the Queens building could/was windy, or hot, for spotters... and remembering the Trident hour boring, but what i'd give to see a Trident land today...

stay safe, regards,

The good old days Dave, I was a frequent visitor to LHR in those days as a dead keen spotter living in Reading. Yes, that long line of Tridents as you walked on to the QB to your left, as you say, what I'd give to see that now. Thanks for the log

[rh226]

Gave up the QB after a couple of years. There again, living in Ashford, I didn't see why I should spend my money on two buses when I could cycle to Cains Lane in less than 15 minutes. Also, I could go home for lunch!! However, after moving to Reading in 1976, the next eight years the QB was a definite place to go (remember Mrs. P in the refreshments booth - the supervisor/manageress with the thyroid op scar?).
