Thanks for posting. Was at high school 1970 - 1975 and had my first flight (LGW - CDG) at Easter, 1974. It was in a B-Cal BAC 1-11 called Isle of Islay. Even the murky weather is spot on. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be!
This would've been even more stunning with original audio.
Awesome shot of the Caravelle on the takeoff roll - and then the camera cuts out!!
Living in Crawley in the 70s, on a still night you could hear these noisey old jets thundering down the runway, loved it because Gatwick was the lifeblood of Crawley 💕
It was quiet at Gatwick back then
that aged well lol
Gatwick is a ghost town now
Doubt if anyone would believe that there was a time when going to the airport and taking a commercial flight was fun and exciting. Even the time spent waiting in the airport was fun back then. But it's true my friends, it used to actually be something we looked forward to.
Kinda cool seeing so many straight turbojets still in service. Loved the sound of those classic turbojet engines, especially during startup. They were not at all bashful about bringing the noise!
Interesting to see how the nose of the 787 Dreamliner has an uncanny resemblance to that of the old Caravelle.
What goes round comes back round to speak!
The French took the comet’s nose design for the Caravelle.
Flying the Caravelle back then was something really special - Like flying the dreamy today. 😁
Left the UK thru Gatwick for the first time in my life,aged ten, flying British Caledonian ,a 707 plane early January 1975
No sound but safe to say that every single one one those old birds were noisy that day.
Gotta love the big, straight, flaps on Caravelle!
Poor birds!
I flew the BCAL BAC many times from LGW to Paris and return. Pity there is no sound on this video. I most often sat on the last row and had an engine right outside my window.
There's precious little video of theses classic turbojet engines with sound. They sure sounded GREAT though, especially during startup!
Brilliant
nice, nice caravelle of sam ( society aerea mediterranea ) owned by AZ Alitalia
No sound or commentary
Camera work spoils it
The DC10 and Tristar made the 707 obsolete over night. The wide body jets carried more people further and used less fuel and created less noise. Even by the mid seventies most were getting relegated to charter flights.
I appreciate a lot the caravelles and the 1-11s, but where are the tridents??? :)
Heathrow
Really? Is that so? How interesting!!!
@@luisortega4991 Yeah, no BEA or BA flights are LGW then
@@gaguy1967 BEA Airtours (and later British Airtours) operated out of Gatwick. In fact, if you look at the aircraft parked in the background of some of these shots, you will see some BEA logos. These are BEA Airtours Boeing 707-436s which had been passed on to BEA Airtours by BOAC as they retired some of their early Boeing 707s in the early 1970s.
0.42 are they just standing by the runway edge as members of the public??😂😂
You little drunk cameraman.
not a HI-VIZ in sight
2:34 is a face
Yes. Pareidolia.
