Amazing video! Thanks so much, me and and family would go to Blackpool each year from Glasgow in the late 70's and early 80's. It was a magical place for a child back then, the lights, the arcades and of course the Pleasure Beach which blew my mind at such a young age. So many great memories and love and laughter, sights and sounds. All the best!
Thank you for sharing your memories of Blackpool.
The year I was born ,it looks so lovely way back then ❤ lovely film.❤
Thank you.
Prelepo hvala na videu pozdrav iz Srbije ❤
Visted ten years ago now, a good day out. The carrier flight deck expereience did it for me! Thanks for posting. Another place near is the Haynes motor museum with its lovely restaurant as well as the exhibits.
We went there in 1960 when I was 10. Look how smart we were back then compared to today. It was mid summer and packed. The thing I will never forget was a ride on the Wild Mouse. Bloody hell! Thanks Blackpool, thanks Britain for the pleasure you have given me for all my life. What on earth has gone wrong nowadays. I certainly saw your best years. er
Thank you!
Lovey set of gallopers ( not a carousel)
divno je.mislim da je uzivanje iradnicima kao i putnicima.sretnu plovidbu vam zelim.😊❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your comment.
A Great Film Thanks For Posting❤
Lovely to see all those iconic aircraft. I grew up near Dublin airport and have fond memories of the DC3, DC4, Constellation, Viscount, Vanguard, Comet, Brittania, Caravelle, Ambassador from that era when we could stand out on the viewing balconies on a sunny day. My first flight was on a British Eagle Brittania on a school charter flight to France from Dublin. I think every kid on the plane got to visit the cockpit. I can still remember all the surrounding black panels with knobs and dials everywhere ! Not quite as tidy as an A320 cockpit. Finally got a private pilots licence myself in 2004 and fly the Cessna 172 at my local club in the north west of Ireland (nearly 70 now !).
The gardens are absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤
Hi Dave and Dawn. Thank you for your kind comment. Best wishes, David.
Nice job.
Excellent quality.
I worked in the tower 1982 - 84, and had my dinner in the adjacent queens building staff canteen - those from the film look the same but everything else was already heavily developed compared to the film, and that was only around 20 years later.
Im love snowdon mountain railway 😊
My dad was a Postman and would drive his van right up to waiting planes. Another world really.
We really enjoyed this. What a fascinating place. We visited Quarry Bank a few years ago and the mill was closed so was wonderful to see inside. Thank you so much. Have a lovely weekend. Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤️
Hi Dave and Dawn, wow, you were very quick to comment since the video has only been up a short time. Thank you for your support, much appreciated.
I remember spending many Saturdays in the Queens Building with my Ian Allen book. Still remember the Connie's, DC-4s, DC-6's, 707's, Comets. Plenty of smoke at start up...
You missed out the Viscounts and Vanguards. Yep, has never been beaten as a place to go watch aircraft.
@@bertiesworld you're right. Also didn't mention Britain's which where majestic..
It's always been known as Heathrow.
Hi Ian McGarrigle, the airport was opened on 25 March 1946 as London Airport. The airport was renamed Heathrow Airport in the last week of September 1966, See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heathrow_Airport
Thank you for this...
It was such a good walk in my youth, maybe one day I'll enjoy this.
Thank you for sharing. Have never been here. Looks wonderful ❤
Hi inbetween days, thank you for your comment.
Lots of things wrong in the 60’s but no where near the number of things wrong today. Lovely film.
Hi Steve, thank you.
Brings back some truly wonderful memories, thank you subscribed.
Hi N1611n RP, thank you.
Where did you transfer your 8mm films? The quality is super.
Hi Daylight Daylight, Thank you for your kind comment. I did the transfer myself using a Winait 8mm Roll Film Scanner purchased from Amazon.

Hi John, thank you for your interesting comment.
Great footage of aircraft and ops of the day. But, Viennese music for an airport in London? Really!
Thank you for sharing. What a great trip. Stunning views and impressive buildings. Looks wonderful lit up at night. Love the land train. We had a ride on one recently ❤
Hi inbetween days, thank you for your kind comments, much appreciated.
When days were worth living
I remember visiting thus museum while on holiday in Weymouth back in 1995. I remember a captured Argentinian UH-1 Huey was on display under the wing of the Concorde. It was one of the few helicopters that you could sit into and play with the controls... 😂 Is it gone now from the museum.? Did not see it here..!
The roof top spectator area is famous for the fans assembling there welcoming back the Beatles from America. I went there in the 1960s, security was so much more relaxed then.
I was born in '72 but have very very fond memories of the Queens Building, watching the planes come and go. Loved that. A shame necessary security protocols due to extremists now prohibit me and others from being able to view that spectacle.
What a wonderful piece of nostalgia. Makes me very sad to realise how (and why) things have changed so much since I was a young boy, able to cycle to the airport and spend the day on the Queens building.
The Viscount was Britains bestselling airliner.(~800 sold across world ). It was world's first Turbo-prop airliner.
The total production was actually 445
Loved London Airport in those days The Queens Building, the Silver service Restaurant (my Dad would take important foreign friends there and Mum, Bob and I) First time I ever tasted Crepe Suzette!
The trees were beautiful. Literally shimmering in the Autumn nights.
So many Viscounts.Never forget that continuous screetch from the engines of those on our regular holidays to Guernsey.Replaced,i believe,by Handley Page Heralds with the same bloody noise.Very nostalgic and one of my earliest memories
Thinking about this I could possibly have been on one of those planes 😊. Brings back memories of flying up from what was then called St.Mawgan airport in Cornwall to what was then called London Airport, usually on a Viscount or an old Dakota to stay with relatives. Lots of memories 😢
Back when Heathrow was a six runway airport.
Most beaches in Cyprus are fabricated . They imported sand to put on their beaches because originally the sand on their beaches were grey volcanic sand . The sand in Ayia Napa was imported from Egypt .
Hi Louisa, thank you for this interesting information. The sandy beaches we visited looked lovely.
@@DavideoVisits You wouldn’t have known that the sand was imported . The sand was well laid creating postcard beaches .
I was there January. Lovely town, not too keen on the runs though
Hi Norman, thank you for the comment. I agree it is a lovely town, very traditional.
Hi I'm going there next January, can I ask why you didn't like the runs?
@@declanbriody4774 hi Declan. Rain didn’t help and I guess I’ve been spoilt in the ski welt area most years. They put in a great night show well worth watching.
Hi David! I'm just wondering if it is possible to use some of your fantastic footage in a video I am doing about the history of the HP Jet Provost / Strikemaster? This footage is truly phenomenal and I would be honoured to feature some clips! Full credit will be given back to yourself of course!
Hi Dominic, please contact me by email on the link at www.davideovisits.com to discuss this.
Thank you for a lovely film. Takes me back.😊
Hi Gary, thank you for your kind comment.
Fabulous, we were there in January, great snow...
Hi Richard, thank you for your kind comment, it is much appreciated.
Brilliant
Hi Brian, thank you for your kind comment, it is much appreciated.
Castle was better without this. I hate when people turn a castle into a hotel.
Hey, thank you for your videos. I am checking the routes as we will be visiting this area soon. It really helps and videos are also really nice. Thanks and sending hello from Czech Republic.
Hi broskisnajdy, thank you for your kind comment and I wish you happy skiing.
Great video with some lovely views, thanks for posting!
Hi jpro3000, thank you for your kind comment.
How did you travel there in 1960 please? No tube line then ..
Hi Sara. We went by bus. We would have got a green 321 London Transport country bus from Watford to Uxbridge and from there a red London Transport bus to London Airport.
Thank you ! My mum worked there then and used to travel from Baker St but she can’t remember further details- so sounds like Met line to Uxbridge the bus.. Such nostalgia for these times!
Lots of people took the Piccadilly Line to Hounslow West until 1975 when it was extended to Hatton Cross and then just before Christmas 1977 to Heathrow Airport itself. Buses provided the transfer between the tube station and the airport until the full extension was opened. There was also a West London Air Terminal in Cromwell Road in Kensington, central London, operating from 1957 until the start of 1974. Passengers would check their luggage in there and get their boarding passes issued. Then they and their checked-in luggage would be conveyed in special buses to the airport, flights being held in the event of delays caused by traffic hold-ups. Inconceivable today!
If you were flying BEA you went to their "terminal" in Cromwell Rd. It's now a supermarket and flats. You would "check in" your baggage there and then it and you would be transported to the airport by big grey buses. BOAC had a similar set up in Buckingham Palace Road.
140 bus from Northolt. A trip to the Queens Building to watch the planes was a top day out in the 60s.
