Stansted Airport in The Late 60's
I remember as a lad cycling from Bishop's Stortford to the old Stansted airport. In those days there were just a few buildings with a very small terminal building. You used to be able to approach the airport via a lane and there was nothing more than a set of lights at the end of the runway to stop you crossing when planes were taking off or landing. Naturally as boys, we crossed so we could be under the planes to be adventurous. In the terminal building you could get a few stickers for destinations such as Barcelona, we stuck these on our bikes with pride and would call back most weeks for new supplies. I remember one airline that operated there "Channel Airways" and a man there named Claud. If asked nicely, he would show you onboard a plane that was in the hangar.
