| | Old Aircraft planespotting - classic airplanes / aeroplanes |
 | | Long before I joined the motoring masses at the helm of BMC's finest, I spent much of my spare time in the 1970s and early 1980s pedalling between Cheadle and Manchester Airport (formerly Ringway), plane spotting & photographing classic aeroplanes whenever I could. |
 | | Back then, plane spotting would have consisted of gazing in awe as examples of lumbering Argonaut, Douglas DC3, DC4 and DC6, Convair, BOAC Stratocruiser and Constellation mixed it with cutting edge, new fangled, aircraft such as the DH Comet, Boeing 707 and DC8, with the occasional Convair Coronado thrown in for good measure. |
