4/. Early morning departure over the Thames Estuary

Image

6/. Still a Mighty looking beast 45 years on

Cheers Pete

Yes indeed memories - it was crazy cos when I built the plan for STN-KNO there shouldnt have been any organised airways south of NOU but lo and behold 30 years later there are a zillion of them

Leif, nice shots a question looking at the starboard side the titling seems different to the port side i.e. the AIRLINES text is above the line of the first set of text, now that could be ok as I ahve not seen any pictures of her in real colours?
