Does any of you have some knowledge of what kind of traffic you might expect at Brize during the late 60ies early 70ies?

Thanks in advance.

[Brian Franklin]

Tens, Belfasts and I think even the last of the Brits too

Comet, Basset, Pembroke, Devon, Anson, HS.748 Andover CC2, Valetta, Varsity, Hastings and the like :think:

Thank you all.

VC10's, Belfast's and Britannia's seems to be the ones I'm after (You are of course right about the visitors as well Garry, but I'm just after the Brize-based aircraft)

[DanKH]

OK...

Next question. Anyone know off a suitable Britannia or Belfast for AI? ;-)

Ok found the Britannia already... Belfast?

Concur with that Tony. Surprised it's not gone freeware yet but there you go

Flew into Brize on a Brit from Luqa in March 74 Did a parachute course from there in 76 and there was loads of C130 activity too ;-)
