    Ahhh...reminds me of happy days spotting at Manchester. BEA Viscounts/Vanguards + Tridents. Not forgetting the Dan Air Comets and 707's and the BOAC VC10's!

    Some memories for you John.
    Air Canada DC8, Dan Air Comet and Laker DC10 at Ringway, Manchester in 1975 and a Dan Air Comet at the Museum of Flight at East Fortune a few years ago.

    I was taken to see the first one, 1969 I think it was, it was parked in the South Maintenance area, likewise, somewhere I have a (B&W) photo of it.
