OMG I remember seeing that marquee when I visited Luton aircraft spotting in Sept 74, seem to remember it was Dair Air using it

A young John Stapleton?

Good old LLA. It was a mess all those years ago, and really, nothing has improved much. Court should have gone to STN. Still, too late now.

There was I thinking that everyone at Luton Airport sat around drinking Campari and lemonade. Not that I'm old enough to remember.

They’ve spent so much money on it yet Luton remains London’s worst airport. Hopefully it improves.

All this and then Court Line went bust.

Luton has always been a dump...a dump then and a dump now in 2023.
