Fantastic brings back very happy memories of my childhood days at Liverpool Speke airport spotting.... aircraft seemed much more interesting in those day compared to the boring stuff around now....was the Britannia not one of Britannia Airways,
@clakrgore Thanks for posting this wonderful video
@glasgowbrian It's definitely a Bristol Britannia but like you I can't identify the airline. It doesn't seem to have any fuselage titles and my guess is that it's an ex-military aircraft being used as a freighter although I could easily be wrong.
I think the big 4 engined prop in the middle of the video was a bristol brittania.. had some kind of logo on the tail but couldnt make out which airline it was
Never believed my gran when she used to tell me there used to be an airport at the back of her house in Gallowhill as I had only ever known Abbotsinch
Great footage , takes me back to my childhood. I'll never forget the noise of the departing Dan Air Avro Yorks , and the Aer Lingus Carvairs ! Thanks for posting.
This is a great film brings back so many memories I used to go plane spotting with my cousin Chris and sometimes Stewardess spotting as well getting many a wave from glamerous young women when you were twelve was just great
oh wow this is amazing!! I lived on arkleston estate for 25 years since a child and this was built on the runway of abbotsinch airport. All our streets were named after the planes Herald Way Viscount way so it's amazing to see these actual planes. Thanks for posting film!
Oh my goodness! Renfrew airport, a BEA Vanguard with retractable steps down, Herald and Viscount....brings back many memories of landing and taking off from here when I was a child. Magic!
Here is a picture of a Britannia.....Britannia....if you type in the following on Wikipedia...

This is great. My first flight was that year from Renfrew to Edinburgh Turnhouse in a BEA Herald. 14/- one way.

Anybody remember the cafe where you could go outside to watch the planes?...or the landing lights on the Council houses at Gallowhill? ....
