First Heathrow spotting trips - April 1981

[zz]

I started spotting in April 1981 at the age of 6 (although I  then added the log from the Icicle Meet 1981 that I had attended!)

Along with my local field- Blackbushe- my first port of call was Heathrow, and I visited 3 times in 8 days.
Below are my logs for the 18th, 19th and 26th April 1981- a full log for the 18th and then additions for the next 2 dates.

Hope its of some interest- lots of BAC 1-11s, Tridents, TriStars, 727s, 707s, 720s, old 747s...

Very nostalgic Phil, many thanks for taking the time to post them. I had a look and saw that I had a few trips to LHR also in 1981 but not close to your dates. My first trip to LHR was around 1967 when I was 11, all Caravelles, DC-9's and B727's then as far as the short haul stuff was concerned.
