Thank you

This is a lovely little trip into the past, now, here's my question: In the days before Mods, Rockers, Skinheads, Suede Heads, Rude Boys, Punks, Casuals, Ravers what on earth did teenagers do?

A lovely video, which has brought back memories of all the times I have been associated with the town. As a small boy visiting with my parents. as a teenager and young adult growing up and in later life as a pilot and flying instructor operating out of 'Squire's Gate' aerodrome. I have spent many happy days on the Isle of Man, again as a young boy with my parents and in later life flying in on a regular basis - but from Liverpool, not Blackpool. The world seemed so simple then and all the days were sunny ... lol 😀

Not 1960. The first BEA Vanguard service was March 1st 1961

Not sure if its the film speed, but were taxi speeds a lot faster then? would be interested if anyone knows. Great piece of nostalgic film

When life was just better.

I remember when there used to be loads of kids with trolleys waiting at the bus station to take your luggage to where you were staying for a small fee

Going here in January, cant wait 😁😁😁😁

I hope to visit in the very near future!

What a great market. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

Amazing video! Thanks so much, me and and family would go to Blackpool each year from Glasgow in the late 70's and early 80's. It was a magical place for a child back then, the lights, the arcades and of course the Pleasure Beach which blew my mind at such a young age. So many great memories and love and laughter, sights and sounds. All the best!

The year I was born ,it looks so lovely way back then ❤ lovely film.❤

Prelepo hvala na videu pozdrav iz Srbije ❤

Visted ten years ago now, a good day out. The carrier flight deck expereience did it for me! Thanks for posting. Another place near is the Haynes motor museum with its lovely restaurant as well as the exhibits.

We went there in 1960 when I was 10. Look how smart we were back then compared to today. It was mid summer and packed. The thing I will never forget was a ride on the Wild Mouse. Bloody hell! Thanks Blackpool, thanks Britain for the pleasure you have given me for all my life. What on earth has gone wrong nowadays. I certainly saw your best years. er

Thank you!

Lovey set of gallopers ( not a carousel)

divno je.mislim da je uzivanje iradnicima kao i putnicima.sretnu plovidbu vam zelim.😊❤❤❤❤

A Great Film Thanks For Posting❤

Lovely to see all those iconic aircraft. I grew up near Dublin airport and have fond memories of the DC3, DC4, Constellation, Viscount, Vanguard, Comet, Brittania, Caravelle, Ambassador from that era when we could stand out on the viewing balconies on a sunny day. My first flight was on a British Eagle Brittania on a school charter flight to France from Dublin. I think every kid on the plane got to visit the cockpit. I can still remember all the surrounding black panels with knobs and dials everywhere ! Not quite as tidy as an A320 cockpit. Finally got a private pilots licence myself in 2004 and fly the Cessna 172 at my local club in the north west of Ireland (nearly 70 now !).

The gardens are absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤

Nice job.

Excellent quality.

I worked in the tower 1982 - 84, and had my dinner in the adjacent queens building staff canteen - those from the film look the same but everything else was already heavily developed compared to the film, and that was only around 20 years later.

Im love snowdon mountain railway 😊

My dad was a Postman and would drive his van right up to waiting planes. Another world really.

We really enjoyed this. What a fascinating place. We visited Quarry Bank a few years ago and the mill was closed so was wonderful to see inside. Thank you so much. Have a lovely weekend. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️

I remember spending many Saturdays in the Queens Building with my Ian Allen book. Still remember the Connie's, DC-4s, DC-6's, 707's, Comets. Plenty of smoke at start up...

It's always been known as Heathrow.

Thank you for this...

It was such a good walk in my youth, maybe one day I'll enjoy this.

Thank you for sharing. Have never been here. Looks wonderful ❤

Lots of things wrong in the 60’s but no where near the number of things wrong today. Lovely film.

Brings back some truly wonderful memories, thank you subscribed.

Where did you transfer your 8mm films? The quality is super.

Excellent short video! I arrived there coming from Munich by train in November 2022. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro!!

These early videos are an important historical record, I extend my thanks to everyone who used their home movie camera to produce a record "and to publish It," (no matter how scratchy) thank you... licensed on Viscount 700 and 800 series, Vanguards, Tridents, ultimately, Comet-4Bs 1966/73 now age 80, and very much retired.....(John, born Hayes Middlesex... /// relocated to Perth Australia the last 50 years, ...

Great footage of aircraft and ops of the day. But, Viennese music for an airport in London? Really!

Thank you for sharing. What a great trip. Stunning views and impressive buildings. Looks wonderful lit up at night. Love the land train. We had a ride on one recently ❤

When days were worth living

I remember visiting thus museum while on holiday in Weymouth back in 1995. I remember a captured Argentinian UH-1 Huey was on display under the wing of the Concorde. It was one of the few helicopters that you could sit into and play with the controls... 😂 Is it gone now from the museum.? Did not see it here..!

The roof top spectator area is famous for the fans assembling there welcoming back the Beatles from America. I went there in the 1960s, security was so much more relaxed then.

I was born in '72 but have very very fond memories of the Queens Building, watching the planes come and go. Loved that. A shame necessary security protocols due to extremists now prohibit me and others from being able to view that spectacle.

What a wonderful piece of nostalgia. Makes me very sad to realise how (and why) things have changed so much since I was a young boy, able to cycle to the airport and spend the day on the Queens building.

The Viscount was Britains bestselling airliner.(~800 sold across world ). It was world's first Turbo-prop airliner.

Loved London Airport in those days The Queens Building, the Silver service Restaurant (my Dad would take important foreign friends there and Mum, Bob and I) First time I ever tasted Crepe Suzette!

The trees were beautiful. Literally shimmering in the Autumn nights.

So many Viscounts.Never forget that continuous screetch from the engines of those on our regular holidays to Guernsey.Replaced,i believe,by Handley Page Heralds with the same bloody noise.Very nostalgic and one of my earliest memories

Thinking about this I could possibly have been on one of those planes 😊. Brings back memories of flying up from what was then called St.Mawgan airport in Cornwall to what was then called London Airport, usually on a Viscount or an old Dakota to stay with relatives. Lots of memories 😢

Back when Heathrow was a six runway airport.
