Good Old Days

A Memory of Luton.

I apprenticed at Luton Airport, having been a 'spotter' as a boy, you could stand next to a five foot fence adjacent to the taxiway and almost touch the wings as they went past! No terror worries then. I joined Court Line, who were Autair before that. The plane on the apron is a Handley Page Herald, built at Hatfield (now an industrial estate). They also flew a DC3 and Airspeed Ambassadors (of Munich aircrash, Man United infamy).
