Excellent aviation video! I was employed in the airline industry and had a great career and now retired. I worked hard and travelled the world. Enjoyed flying on the BA Concorde in February 1988 to Barbados. Incredible experience, brilliant crew and enjoyed my vacation. 🇬🇧🏴
I am so priviledged to be still living under their flight paths in 2015 remembering Concorde blasting over my house and watching it banking on my road always left me speechless on every ocassion kindly taken over by the A380. As did when she landed on either 27L and 27R I will intend on moving closer to Heathrow and not further away as I believe that this airport should be called "Harvir' Heathrow" after me.
I worked as a stewardess on many 727's back in the late 60's and 70 but my favorite to work was the Boeing 707 from NY to LA flying out of JFK especially in First Class. Champagne anyone?
Thanks for uploading this video. Brings back memories of when my parents and I spent a day watching the planes at Heathrow. You saved the best for last. When we went, we only just got there in time to see Concorde take off- sadly we'll never have that opportunity again.
I always considered the old livery to be one of the most bland and boring out there. The new livery is an improvement, less white, but rather conservative. But then they are a conservative airline.
It’s sad to see reminders of some excellent airlines that are no more as well as aircraft that were so much more comfortable than today’s squeeze boxes. Sabena, PanAm, TWA,
Patrick what a pleasure to see the golden old timers in action in this superb video. The action gives me goosebumps when we both young especially the picture of the Concorde seen both in action at Charles de Gaulle and Toronto Pearson my home town. The last flight we are as a family was on a Tristar to Charles de Gaulle in 1983 it has been so many years since I have been on a flight. Nothing like the oldies good solid metal made to last!! Patrick have a great week and weekend mate catch you on the next flight!!
I live under the flight path too, i miss Concorde going over everyday, and i cannot remember the last time i saw a three engined plane....these planes seem very old despite it being not to long ago...
Chris Dans Shame... I really miss the old planes.... variety is the spice of life. Technology has improved and eventually you'll only see 2 engined planes due to economy of scale. The large 474 and 380s will be a distant memory.
How fitting to save the best and only outstanding plane (The Concorde) to be last in this video. This is the only reason why I watched the video. I can't get enough of the Concorde.

Ah, those halcyon days when one could jump on the tube and hit the Queens Building (and even T-3 and T-2) for a Summer's day of spotting and nary a visit from security or the Police. If only I had a 'Way Back Machine'...
Lufthansa livery has never changed. Even now they've got the Boeing 747-8, Airbus A380, they've got nearly every single commercial plane and yet their livery has changed. i wonder what Lufthansa's History would have been like!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heavy bulk loading aircraft 200 bags to 300 bags in cargo hold ... dragging them from the door way Lucky I am working on widebody aircraft today as shown above in 1989
Oh! Those Happy Days ! Plane Spotting at the End of the Runways at Heathrow with my kids in the Back standing on the seat with the Roof open screaming if the next plane was coming and Even Louder if it was Concord !
Omg Heathrow airport 1989 the last time I went abroad 26 September 1989 I went to New York with my dad I remember after the plane took off I vomited in toilet afterwards I fell asleep on my dad's lap I was only 9 I was so scared and I have not been abroad since then
Yes you right... I love the Old British Airways Livery. With the Monarchy sign on it. That showed the world we are British and proud. They should bring it back. I think when changed the livery in the 90s that was the worst decision every made by BA.
I will look it up. I too that is been in the travel business for over 20 years also. Just with United alone 21 years not including the other airlines I worked for. Also not including my parents, we are a airline family. But I will look it up. For the 727s that were used in LHR were reconfigured much different than the ones in the states. I was told by the ex Pan Am FAs based in LHR that these Airplanes in LHR that they were their old planes.
9:39 JAT Yugoslav Airlines, nowadays renamed to AirSERBIA. Then at 11:11 we have two JAT planes in same time in London, a B727 and a B737. That company came to be for most 1970s and 1980s the 9th airline in Europe in size, destinations, fleet and quality, just behind the major airliners. JAT in 1989 had regular scheduled flights with its DC10s to Sydney, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Beijing, Delhy, Johanesbourgh, Adis Abeba, Harare, New York, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal. Pretty impessive seen from nowadays. It was something sort of world-wide "neutral world airline" (not American-allied, but neither Soviet-allied). When Yugoslav wars started in early 1990s, sanctions were imposed prohibiting Yugoslav airlines to fly internationally, and those sanctions took place for most of 1990s and literally killed JATs intercontinental routes. Its place in world was mostly taken by Turkish Airlines while JAT changed its name to AirSERBIA and is just now retaking its position as intercontinental carrier with the introduction of A330 and its New York route.
JAT, even during their peak in the mid 1980s, never flew more south in Africa than the Maghreb states and Egypt. Their focus was more on the Yugoslavian communities in North America and Australia.
No Im not......United may have purchased the Pan Am Hub AT Heathrow, but all the Pan Am Planes went elsewhere....Find a JP Airline Fleets book for 1992 after Pan Am went out of business...none of the Pan Am 727s were added to the UAL Fleet, United brought over their own 727s to fly in and out of Heathrow....ive been in the travel business for over 20 years....
I forgot to add. That even though I do have many, many years in the airline industry. Dinosour.LOL Doesn't mean I know everything, I am always learning and have known to be wrong at timed. LOL Baut again I will look it up. Thank You
So in the 20th Century we have ‘Concorde’ & supersonic flight! We have the ‘747 Jumbo’ Queen of the skies! Hell, we even had the Space Shuttle‼️ And at the start of the 21st century we have erm... em... the 737-MAX? Aren’t we meant to be going forward with technology?
+João Mendes Pan Am had operations based in West Germany. Originally they were designed for flights within West Germany, specifically to and from West Berlin but over time they started operating routes from West Germany to other parts of Europe
Pan Am had fifth freedom rights to fly between London and Frankfurt and a couple of other European cities so they used them on those routes to connect to the long hauls.

BA's Landor livery looks great especially on Concord
Excellent aviation video!
I was employed in the airline industry and had a great career and now retired.
I worked hard and travelled the world.
Enjoyed flying on the BA Concorde in February 1988 to Barbados.
Incredible experience, brilliant crew and enjoyed my vacation.
🇬🇧🏴
Wow remember viewing from there like it was yesterday 30years ago and the landor livery is back at least on one 747. Great vid thanks.
I am so priviledged to be still living under their flight paths in 2015 remembering Concorde blasting over my house and watching it banking on my road always left me speechless on every ocassion kindly taken over by the A380.
As did when she landed on either 27L and 27R I will intend on moving closer to Heathrow and not further away as I believe that this airport should be called
"Harvir' Heathrow" after me.
did Concorde blasting over your house? seriously!
Paaji, I really envy you. !!! :(
That JAT 737 looks great in that livery,also that plane was just a year old when this video was taken.
JAT was the first B737 customer in Europe
The first was Lufthansa’s -100 wasn’t it?
Nicely edited video, showing different airlines in turn and finishing with Concorde
Who's watching in 2020 and still loving these Golden Oldies 💙🇬🇧
The Concorde is truly the most beautiful airplane to have been created.
Along with the 747 and L1011 as well.
I worked as a stewardess on many 727's back in the late 60's and 70 but my favorite to work was the Boeing 707 from NY to LA flying out of JFK especially in First Class. Champagne anyone?
13:33 do i see an early BA a320, presumably inherited from the B-CAL order after the merger?
Many memories on the Queens building as a growing lad in the eighties, thanks for the post.
I joined BA flying 747 Classics April 89…. what great memories of all those long lost winged friends.
Thanks for uploading this video. Brings back memories of when my parents and I spent a day watching the planes at Heathrow. You saved the best for last. When we went, we only just got there in time to see Concorde take off- sadly we'll never have that opportunity again.
Amazing to see old planes Airbus A300, DC 9, Tristard L1011, etc & some airlines gone...
Very very good . I lived in W9 (walterton rd,) in '89/90 and I used to love seeing the concorde fly over . Cheers
My god,the BAC 111 was still in service that time-unbelieveable! Thanks for sharing.
+Altenholz it's still in service now. albeit limited.
Beautiful video of an era long gone =)
fantastic brings back my childhood thanks so much for uploading
Lufthansa still looks the same almost 30 years later :-)
Same goes for Air France, kind of...
Now not anymore ;/

@@valobrien9596 The new livery is pure White with a blue tail. What new livery are you looking at?

Logged most of these back then, from viewing gallery over Terminal 2.
Great to see the Concorde again.
すごいビデオ！レトロ飛行機が美しいだよ。そして、コンコードはいつもきれいと女王系ね。この英国人から、ほんとありがとう！
what a beautiful sight it is to see that
L1011 and 742 of ACA. Something I never got to see unfortunately. The concorde was a great catch too
I live under the flight path too, i miss Concorde going over everyday, and i cannot remember the last time i saw a three engined plane....these planes seem very old despite it being not to long ago...

It will come back
Also there are Still some MD-11’s around
nice take off from the Concorde at the end!
How fitting to save the best and only outstanding plane (The Concorde) to be last in this video. This is the only reason why I watched the video. I can't get enough of the Concorde.
You can see Terminal 4 in the background as Concorde takes off. It has the yellow jetbridges. T4 was finished in the mid 1980s.

Taxing SST against a B741 and an L10 - all Speedbirds - rare quality - great video
Great upload, really enjoyed. Thanks.

+Samuel Jesuthas because it's phenomenally beautiful, they changed it since they started the airline though it's just that they look kinda same.
I wanted to open a snack shop on the queens building back then. Lucky I didn't. Had many wonderful memories there though. What an array of planes!
+blap200 Thank you for the comment.
My dad got to fly on Concorde, I wish I could have
Heavy bulk loading aircraft 200 bags to 300 bags in cargo hold ... dragging them from the door way
Lucky I am working on widebody aircraft today as shown above in 1989
WOW.Concorde,classic plane's very nice.Thank you.
Times where flying used to be an adventure...
I started flying as crew in 89. I’m still going just about..
superb collection
Oh! Those Happy Days ! Plane Spotting at the End of the Runways at Heathrow with my kids in the Back standing on the seat with the Roof open screaming if the next plane was coming and Even Louder if it was Concord !
Ahhhh, the early B.A A320-100. I believe that was 'acquired' via British Airway's absorption of British Caledonia.
Omg Heathrow airport 1989 the last time I went abroad 26 September 1989 I went to New York with my dad I remember after the plane took off I vomited in toilet afterwards I fell asleep on my dad's lap I was only 9 I was so scared and I have not been abroad since then
Omg that is soo oldschool.Beautiful.
I never new 727s had such range! (5:50)
great stuff!
quality videos just wish there was more of past times like this 1
Aer Lingus at 5:10 looks great!
Intresting it looks as Alitalia is the only aircraft who still send the same aircraft with the same livery...
Now this was aviation
i just love the old british airways and scandinavian airlines livery.
Yes you right... I love the Old British Airways Livery. With the Monarchy sign on it. That showed the world we are British and proud. They should bring it back. I think when changed the livery in the 90s that was the worst decision every made by BA.
i really liked working them... with 6 fa's and a full hot service.. i loved it..
Nao nakagawa. 747 Jumbo jet is my favorite classic plane. Twa, Pan Am, B.o.a.c and Delta.
BA had yet to have the b744s at this point. Haunting
Not true, the first joined in 1989.
djiwebster1 did you read what I wrote?? Paint
Yes, i read it.
Great memories! 10/10

Why did the Concorde almost sound like a prop?
AWESOME VIDEO!!!
Wow it looks like Maiquetia, Venezuela (SVMI) all those DC9, 727 and 737-200
all those 747's and l-10 11's all gone sad
Does anyone know on what route Pan Am was operating the 727 in the 80s and 90s please?
LHR-AMS
LHR-FRA
LHR-HAM

No, you are wrong. Back in 1991 United bought Pan Am's LHR routes, that included the intra Europe routes. I worked those flights when we had them.
Oh - I thought you were talking about the livery at 7:30 : )
It is very quiet not like Heathrow today. I love flying and love to fly but that place is hell on earth today
Anyone's here on 2019
7:31 all remember this 747, and all remember his crash...
Just think. All these aircraft are sitting in a desert withering away. And I mean all! Sad.
10:19 First I thought it was American Airlines.
why?
Me to the plane had the same color
Because American Airlines has the same livery
No Im not......United may have purchased the Pan Am Hub AT Heathrow, but all the Pan Am Planes went elsewhere....Find a JP Airline Fleets book for 1992 after Pan Am went out of business...none of the Pan Am 727s were added to the UAL Fleet, United brought over their own 727s to fly in and out of Heathrow....ive been in the travel business for over 20 years....
All that JT8D noise

Why there’s Pan Am 727 in london?
The true queen of the skies the Concorde
air canada l1011 with a 727 third engine intake? at 3:07
how?
I forgot to add. That even though I do have many, many years in the airline industry. Dinosour.LOL Doesn't mean I know everything, I am always learning and have known to be wrong at timed. LOL Baut again I will look it up. Thank You
Wow, concorde in landoar colors
Lufthansa 727❤❤❤

And at the start of the 21st century we have erm... em... the 737-MAX?
Aren’t we meant to be going forward with technology?
Why was there a Pan Am 727 there?
At first you thought it was American Airlines, Oh no, only BA Concorde could it be!
Remember when Heathrow had three runways?
Yes, the diagonal one that pretty much faced terminal 4 😀
there is a A320 at13,37 in ba colours without shark tips
leberinth an a320-100, they had first flown just 2 years earlier!
In this video i also see pan am boeing 727 takeoff.
How boeing 727 can fly across the atlantic from london to new york
Ask yourself that too when theres a a318 doing that too
cool to see a pan am jet
14:24 is the mighty king CONCORDE
Clagger Greater *queen*
@@dhtelevision 747 is the queen, Concorde the King
I don't know why HM Queen Elizabeth II didn't have the government there buy her family a Concorde to serve as the royal jet.

what a 727 of PanAm was doing in London?
+João Mendes Pan Am had operations based in West Germany. Originally they were designed for flights within West Germany, specifically to and from West Berlin but over time they started operating routes from West Germany to other parts of Europe
Pan Am had fifth freedom rights to fly between London and Frankfurt and a couple of other European cities; can't remember which ones.
This airplane(Pan Am) bounds for Berlin.
Lease from American Airlines at 10:00?
JAT has 50 procent on that Boeing 737 parts from Yugoslavia.
concorde :)
9:36 my boi
pan am 727?
@fawii at 13:33
Whats a pan am b727 doing in London. Its not like it came from across the Atlantic.
Pan Am had fifth freedom rights to fly between London and Frankfurt and a couple of other European cities so they used them on those routes to connect to the long hauls.
they were based out of Germany.
Alitalia, Air France and IBeria still the same Livery as today ZZZZZZZZ
