Great days when the spectators terrace was open .

Pure British spotting beauty! We once flew a Convair 580 like that Partnair in the 80s. My father flew the HS748 once in the '70s. And those RB211-535C engines are priceless: among the few "pre-wide-chord-fan" (narrow-blade) fitted to B757s.

It’d be fantastic to fly in the convair! Your lucky 😀

This is pure gold John . When was this filmed?

[@johnstewart5363]

Can’t remember the exact date but think it’s about 1986-89🤔

LN-BWG; an interesting-albeit temporary-addition to Ryanair's fleet, too!

[@johnstewart5363]

Wow that’d be great to have seen😀

​@@johnstewart5363I agree! It was briefly used by Ryanair in 1988 to fill in for the upcoming ATR 42s. Unfortunately, its presence on YT is scant; there's only one video of it in Ryanair c/s there.
