- Section from 1971 Aer Lingus promo film. See passengers check-in at original airport building. On board the hostesses give food and drinks to passengers. See a coach in London in Aer Lingus livery. Quick shot of a BAC-111 aircraft.
I love old aer lingus footage! It shows that flying used to be glamorous to many. To be in the sky and treated with luxury, was to may peoples likings back then.
I can’t quite get the sarcasm in your tone. You’re definitely not serious, right?
Brings back childhood memories. I remember flying out to New York from Belfast via Shannon on this particular plane in the summer of 1969 and coming back on St.Enda three weeks later. It was a time flying was a special experience.
747 cool
Wow! Makes me think of my grandmother. First time she was on a plane was an Aer Lingus flight from New York to Dublin in 1965 to visit her family that she hadn't seen since she and my Grandfather left Ireland for New York as newlyweds 25 years earlier. There would be many more visits after that, always on Aer Lingus!
Thanks for the maginicent scenes of the EI 707 - she looked very fine in the old shamrock livery. The aircraft at the beginning of the video, EI-AMW, was written off in Damascus in 1982. You can still see the remains of her there, as her fuselage has been transformed into a restaurant!
Brilliant! Aer Lingus is very different airline these days but I still enjoy my fights with them.
2:00 fantastic takeoff
This is a legand video!
Wish airtravel was like this today!!!
that old Merc, beautiful
What great times those days..you could walk anywhere, wave at the planes, not have to worry about safety the way we look at these days, and fly gorgeous airplanes..
707... its so beautiful
This brings back strong memories for me. My uncle, Sean J White went with his family to New York for three years as the Bord Failte representaive, possibly about 1969, and seeing these pictures recalls the exact same view we had of their Aer Lingus B707 on the tarmac from the balcony of the old airport building. Other times, me land! Other times.
Superb! I'd rather fly once like that in a lifetime than every day the way flights are now with boring planes, huge queues and no sense of occasion!
2:01 I love how streamlined the 707 looks, especially right after it takes off! Such a great airplane!!!
1:21 looks great
Lovely. I remember flying alot with Pan am & Lufthansa 707s accross the Atlantic.
In those days, flying was more comfortable & prestigious than today. Even without board entertainment.
In 1968, Aer Lingus made a documentary for cinema release called "Shamrock Sky High". I wonder was this taken from that film. Lovely stuff to see as that was the time I first started taking an interest in aircraft and flying.
I notice that they made sure they didn't show any of their Viscounts - which would have been looked on as a bit old fashioned by then.
Yes It was ----Is it possible to get or see that Film now ????
what an awesome video. I know the service isn't as exemplary as this nowadays but Aer Lingus is still a pleasure to travel with.
great great video , I,ve had the pleasure of flying in the 707s when i was a teenager, some central american countries still operate the 707s
I bet that The irish international airline company had the best saftey record of all. thats one lucky aircraft! :]
WOW!VERY IMPRESSIVE BACK IN THE DAYS THE PILOTS DIDN'T HAVE RADIO ALTIMETERS !
:) love Aer lingus :)
This older terminal looks very similar to the passenger terminal in Long Beach, California (LGB).
No.. It's a listed building and can't be demolished. Development is going on all around it though!
i love the 707
the 707 use to be the ruler of the sky before the 747
cool wish we still flew 2 canada
Great 707 video- thanks for posting! I've posted a video response above with a BOAC promo video that I uploaded.
When I flew for the first time as a child in the mid-1980s the last, vaning remnants of this age could be felt. It created my deep interest in aviation. However, from a technical side I still find flying fascinating but the passenger experience has declined a lot. But much improvement have been made in safety - during early Jet Age (1960-70s) there were a lot more crashes than today...
Oh, yes!! How wise of you! Those were really the glorious days of aviation, in which one could fly from Paris to New York paying the equivalent to 5000 or 6000 dollars of today. How could it be compared to the present days, in which people with no style can board a plane for a few hundred dollars...
Super top video.....merci..!
Aer Lingus used to fly Shannon-Montreal-Chicago from 1966 to 1979 not sure if it was a fuel stop though.
Still remember when Stewardesses wore mini dresses and looked like college cheerleaders.
The Aer Lingus 707s were TURBOFAN powered, not turbojet. They operated a fleet of Boeing 707-348Cs which were powered by the Pratt and Whitney JT3D low bypass turbofans. They also operated a three smaller Boeing 720-048s which WERE turbojet powered (Pratt and Whitney JT3C).
Aer Lingus operated (and still operate) into London Heathrow.
Unimportant in the context
@@user-ky6vw5up9m No knowledge is unimportant.
By the way - 10 years I think is a record for someone replying to one of my You Tube comments - congratulations.
The hatch that's being closed at 0:51 is the hatch of a BAC 1-11, not of a Boeing 707.
shame wish Aer Lingus flew to Canada again.
No better call sign for an Irish aircraft, 'Mike Whiskey.
Yeah, waiting for 3hrs in security, removing our pants and shoes, crammed onto a plane like cattle. Charged $5 for a sandwich and extra for hold baggage, stuck in a seat with 6" of legroom. Yeah, that's advancement.
And 11 years later don't forget your facemask !
The Aer Lingus aircraft at 4.13 is one of the Aer Lingus Boeing 720s, rather than a 707.
EricIrl it was a variant.
@@user-ky6vw5up9m Sort of. It evolved out of the 367-80/707 basic design but it was substantially different in many area. That's why Boeing decided not to give it a "707" designation. The original plan was to call it the 707-020 but they changed their mind.
For bonus points, can anyone identify the Air Canada plane in the background? (I don’t know the answer).
@@gerardacronin334 It's a Vickers Vanguard. Only about 40 Vanguards were built as there were only two customers - Trans Canada Airlines (later Air Canada) and British European Airways (BEA). Air Canada retired theirs in the early 1970s. BEA later became British Airways and their passenger Vanguards were all retired by 1975. Some BEA/BA Vanguards were converted to freighter configuration (the Merchantman) and these stayed in service with BA until around 1980/81.
After Air Canada and BA retired their Vanguards, the surviving aircraft soldiered on, mostly as freighters with airlines such as Air Bridge Carriers and Elan Air Freight , until the mid 1990s.
@@EricIrl Cool, thank you!
Besides from DUB to SNN, did EI fly the B707 on other domestic or European routes?
@Jeteaime65 t's still there. You pass it on your way to Pier D
when I first heard the engines I thought it was screaming and I forgot no jetways back then damn they were taxing fast lol at 2:49 at the nun now more about 1 million kg a day
didnt kno we used 2 fly 2 canada, was it a fuel stopover? the aoa on the 707 was mad
Absolutely great video! I'm curious: 04:23 to 04:27 , is that Irish? I love the sound of it! And what is she saying?
Yes, that’s Irish. She is saying hello and welcome aboard Aer Lingus.
pilot is pilot
Now it takes a day salary.
lovely noisy
"London to Dublin has become a bus ride." How true since Ryanair practically dominate this route. BTW, what has happened to the old Dublin terminal? Was it razed to make room for DUB's expansion?
Cowboy2013 the Old Dublin Terminal is heritage preserved.
And to think today a cheap narrow-body like the a321 easily measures up with this once marvel of technology in terms of passengers and range. Then it beats it in terms of efficiency, noise, ride, maneuverability...
My god those old super noisy and very dirty jet engines... yeesh
Yeah and it cost about three weeks pay to fly to London.
@marmal320 i know! It seems like people don't care about comfort anymore when they fly. all they care about is getting a cheap flight. every plane now is essentially an "airbus"--a flying bus--and it's so sad :(
some go via shannon because the government and aerlingus alike feel that it's important to keep the west of ireland connected and not just dublin..
John Travolta Own's a Boeing 707 for himself LOL , whats he going to do with all that space isnide :O? But he named the place ,I Love you. Something like that after his death of his son Jett Travolta.
@marmal320 then fly bussiness class of first with virgin atlantic
Okay, the 707 is SO HOT. I'd like to be alone with one...
@wolfandcub0070 Ooops! A sensible comment at last! Take care, man. Being so rational may get you into trouble...
@thibaulthalpern 50 minutes
@laughatpa
No I meant, why would an Irish person want to go to Britain, for what reason ?
To work, to meet friends and family and do normal things.
The good old day of flying, now if you ask for an extra vodka, you get a `who the hell you think you are look` and reported for being a problem. How the world has changed.
So where is all the porno???? Oh, promo. Never mind.
WHY would any decent Irish person fly to Britain in the 1st place ?
