Blackpool Airport 1983-85 - Part Four

[acklington]

Normal service resumed - this lot of scanned and restored slides is from November into December 1984. The weather was generally naff for photos, but some interesting stuff. There are no less than 12 different types of visiting helicopters; my first experience of 'hot refuelling'; and a couple of trooping charters, I think they were Preston TA troops to Germany?

The Robinson was owned by the rally driver Ari Vatanen and his co-driver David Richards before being sold to Malcolm Wilson Motorsports in 1985, hence the registration
