Apologies for reviving this thread but I was wondering if anyone still has Manchester Airport logs from 1969 and can positively identify the Super VC10 and the 707. All the photos were taken between May and September 1969. Sadly my spotter logs have long been lost to time so any help here would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Dave H.

No apologies needed for posting these shots Dave.

They're superb and bring back many good memories.

Dave, if the two BOAC aircraft were taken on the same day? I presume they were AND.. if they were G-ASGF & G-APFC, then the date would tally as Saturday 20th September 1969.

Mark, yes both were taken on the same day and the date of Saturday 20th September 1969 tallies nicely with the Airport Timetable which I still have from that year ( actually I made 3 trips that year; in May, August and September and as far as I remember all the photos are just from one trip). Great to finally have positive ID's on the BOAC pair!

Many thanks and very much appreciated,
