Great memories, spent many a day on the Queens building in the 70’s. Best days long gone now 😢

The good old days. Viewing from the Queens Building. Remember it well. Use to be a day trip from Kingston upon Thames at least once a month.

Wow!! Will check it out longer when bigjet TV ends. Thanks for sharing!

Very cool stuff, hopefully someone can slow it down and sharpen it back up for clarity in the future, this stuff is worth historical gold.

That’s what I did for a living, unfortunately the quality of captured Cine film will only be as good as the cine film itself, unless it’s done frame by frame (40k to 60k frames per hour)

Amazing to think that in the 1960s there were no widebody aircraft with the largest planes been the b707 and dc8 operating trans atlantic, from 69 the b747 came along and then the dc10, l1011, a300 from early, mid 70s

L-1011 could it be 1972? The first fatal accident of the aircraft was EA401 on 27dec in to MIA.
