- A look behind the scenes at a busy Glasgow Airport in the summer of 1984. Includes a look at a Loganair flight to Barra onboard a Twin Otter with beach landing.
I'd love to return to this era. Life was so much nicer.
Blimey! left there in September 1983 when I was an air traffic controller.....recognise a few old colleagues. Thanks for posting this.
Dude was doin some PR job on his airline catering firm back then "we feed the captain and co-pilot different meals, so if one dies if iOS poising the other still alive to fly the plane"
Worked at Glasgow Airport for B-Cal at this time. Nice to see my work colleagues 28 years ago on this video.
Very good. Control tower looks very RAF
Think BCAL operated the DC10 from Glasgow then. Loved the 757 hard rudder landing.
loving the startrek music after 5.00
In 1984, British Caledonian operated the DC-10 for summer charters. Glasgow-Prestwick (PIK) had protected trans-atlantic status at the time. It wasn't until the early 1990's when that was removed that GLA got to operate trans-at services. American, Northwest and later on Continental all used DC-10's initially until they swapped to a mix of 767's and 757's.
Just lovely exciting music!
James Horner's score from Star Trek II. I hope they gave credit!
I was hoping that there would have been more scenes from inside the passenger areas of the airport to show what kind of shops and restaurants were available and what one would have seen as a passenger flying from the airport back then, as there are very few images from those days of what the airport's interior was like. But interesting nonetheless.
Wish there was more of these videos big al!
I see once again there's no mention or sight of the cleaners who have to make sure the plane cabin is in good order ready for the next flight, very important role !
The music is like something from Indiana Jones, especially with that old propellor powered British Midland aircraft!
It's actually from Star Trek!
Enjoyed that one. My first flight was on "stand-by" from Glasgow to London in about 1973. The price was £15 return (I think). I wonder how many of the carriers are still in business? Not "Dan Dare" anyway.
Hi Allen, I guess you are the grandson of Scott McLaughlin our coalman back in the fifties. Anyhow went to primary school with Bobbie and although went back a few times never caught up with your folks. Good to see the new airport again, my thanks to you and yours. David Melville
No relation of mine, although my maternal grandad Pat Kelly was once a driver and chaffeur to the base commander when it was Sanderling, post war.
fanbulous video, thanks for posting it. maybe someone should film one nowadays for future posterity.
Yes, that's a good idea, I'd love to film it personally. The original was filmed by a now retired BBC colleague of mine.
"another load of passengers heading for the sun"...on a BMA viscount..I dont think so...it only went to Birmingham..!
I think a BMA Viscount flew East Midlands to Jersey, up to Glasgow, back to Jersey then home again to East Midlands. Could be wrong - this is 36 years ago!
I wasn't expecting the beach landing lol.... do they still do that ?
Yes... Loganair still operate onto the beach at Barra.
