Lovely old family video. Super!

Looks like this was filmed from the old Roof Gardens, a much loved feature at Heathrow Airport. I spent many a happy Saturday or Sunday afternoon there during my childhood.

Another great vid

Interesting to see, behind the southern runway, the 3 hangars with HUNTING in big letters, where my late father worked at the time this was filmed. They were occupied by Field Aircraft Services Ltd, a Hunting group company. The lettering originally said HUNTING-CLAN, an airline previously based there.

I would have liked the sound of the engines in those days... the raw howl of the turbo engines.... I miss it

The year my sister joined BOAC as cabin crew ❤

So many Caravelles!

must have been very loud with those RR engines

Flew from LHR to Singapore on a British Eagle Britannia in 1966

Probably totally wrong here but I’ve watched a few Heathrow videos from the 60s and I get the impression the planes taxi a lot faster. Or is that because the films speeded up?

wow - filmed 4 days after I was born....... whose was the DC8 at 3:47

When Britain was Great

When being an aviation enthusiast didn’t equate with being a terrorist.
