In the Seventies Gatwick was sometimes like the living Museum of the British Airliner. This Beauty came from the original BOAC Comet 4 fleet. On the rooftop above the last N in LONDON you can see the edge of the black ADF windows, fatigue cracks from which caused the Comet I fatigue disasters.

Never (ski-)jump to conclusions. The Conroy Tri Turbo Three was not using the Harrier ski-jump rig at the 1978 Farnborough Airshow. Jack Conroy's company had also converted the CL-44-O Skymonster, and he had worked for Aero Spacelines converting the Stratocruiser-based Guppy series in the 1960s. The coastguard-like "Maritime Patrol And Rescue" markings are bogus and for promotional sales purposes only.

Never (ski-)jump to conclusions. The Conroy Tri Turbo Three was not using the Harrier ski-jump rig at the 1978 Farnborough Airshow. Jack Conroy's company had also converted the CL-44-O Skymonster, and he had worked for Aero Spacelines converting the Stratocruiser-based Guppy series in the 1960s. The coastguard-like "Maritime Patrol And Rescue" markings are bogus and for promotional sales purposes only.

LTV had a large order book for the A-7 because the Vietnam war was still being fought. The A-7E was fitted with the Allison licence built Rolls-Royce Spey, which entitled the A-7E to be exhibited at Farnborough(formerly for British/Commonwealth planes only). This was A-7E was serving with VA195 on the USS Kittyhawk

The BAC-111 was quite important on European Inclusive Tour routes in the early Seventies. Germanair's D-AMAT, British Midland's G-AXLM and Dan-Air G-ATPL all using the ventral stairways. We were waiting for our BAC-111 to Heathrow, Cambrian's G-AVGP....our Honeymoon jet, you could say!!
