    Such great variation of airlines back in the 1980s and 90s with all the classic beauties such as the dc10, tristar, A300s and 747s

    Some most interesting shots around 4:20. Numerous Skytrain DC-10s, Delta L1011s, even a Pan Am L1011, which had gone to Delta by about 1986. Some very rare footage.

    I fondly remember my aircraft spotting days at Gatwick. Those classic aircraft types were wonderful. Out of all those many airlines of the day I believe only a handful now remain 😢

      Me too, I went loads as a child in the late 70s early 80s, great times watching from the balcony. Great Airlines in Dan air, British Caledonian, Britannia, Braniff International, Air Europe to name but a few

    This all takes me back especially the Thames material of Heathrow. I remember it so well from my youth.

    Have to say I really like this channel. I'm running an espionage RPG game set in the 1980s and these videos really help me with visual inspiration for the 'look' of the game.

    Some excellent footage of Dan-Air and British Caledonian. And nice to see a TriStar in the British Airtours version of Landor livery (before it became Caledonian).

    Air Europe, Britannia, Dan Air will always be golden days. Whoever destroyed Britannia should live in shame.

      Great to see my first airline Dan Air especially the airbus A300B4 that I did my first ever flight on, I was one of 5 stewards they hired after always refusing to have any

    Very interesting video. Especially all the BAC 1-111’s. I may be a little partial as I flew a corporate 1-11 back then. Flew into Gatwick several times.

    Amazing insight to Gatwick during this interesting period in time, its all very posh public school accents, gosh, how things have changed.
