Heathrow 1970s.... i think(help ;) )

Post by jonf45 »

Hi,
My Dad found these pics and a load more whilst moving house recently. He worked at Heathrow til the mid 80's, but has no recollection of taking these( or much else nowadays!), but they do have reg's written on the back. So, i was wondering, does anyone recognise them,as i would upload the rest to my flickr site, but if they are bought ones/someone else's obviously i'll take these ones off and wont upload the others.
Also, i'm pretty sure that the Concorde/SeaBoard 747 are from Heathrow, but am not sure the others are??
Any help appreciated!!

232 views and no comments, seriously, tch tch!!!!

These are fantastic, a really superb set of retro 70s pictures, thankyou for sharing.
The majority certainly look like Heathrow, some really familiar landmarks and buildings but there are one or two I'm not sure about.

I certainly hope they are your dads and you can post more.

Fabulous pictures, thankyou again.

Cheers,
Jeff.
I know you think you understood what I said, but I'm not sure you realise that what I said is not what I meant.

Ahh, brilliant photos. You've taken me back 30 years to when I worked there. Thanks for posting.
