Weather perfect, so took a run up to LHR and then the lesser known White Waltham international airport. Oh yea then onto a pub.

Blimey, I remember the day the first jumbo, belonging to BOAC, flew into Manchester airport in 1970 :shock:
Times were different then, obviously before I got my Z900, but only six years before & I still have it !!
