A visit to' heathrow junkie' page is nothing less than pure joy for aviation enthuasist's, but for historians the photographs offer a optic into a world long vanished, a more care free gentle paced world where not everything had to travel at the speed of light. and a world where the simpler approach to security and health and safety did not make the photographer feel like a criminal. What I particularly enjoy are his detailed descriptions of the images, and a wealth of knowledge shared. Each photograph of a classic is accompanied by a wealth of supporting text which adds to the rich tapestry of images, mainly of classic airliners. As society evolved we all better off , every one owns a mobile phone these days, the vast majority of which are capable of taking pictures of an extraordinary quality. This was not always the case of course. it is unrealistic to compare today's razor sharp images taken from a thousand miles away with pictures from the 60's, 70's * 80's. What is found in this stream are excellent quality images , often with a detailed description of the camera equipment used thus further adding to the overall experience. They say the 'devil is in the detail' and the descriptions attaching to most photographs, which are very time consuming to write, are all first class, further jogging memories. This site is nothing less than pure joy, have a look inside and I think you will agree. It is pure nostalgia absolutely bristling with nostalgia. I would like to thank Chris for all his wonderful images, each one is better than the previous. Take a trip into a classic world of aviation and prepare to be transported back to a more genteel and perhaps simpler World.

You're welcome. You have absolutely beautiful photos. Classic planes as we like them so much, these B-707, B-747, in all their elegance, DC-10 or Airbus A300, but it's not only that, there is '' the atmosphere '' '.

You're welcome. You have absolutely beautiful photos. Classic planes as we like them so much, these B-707, B-747, in all their elegance, DC-10 or Airbus A300, but it's not only that, there is '' the atmosphere '' '. The bodyguards on the roof of the building behind the Air France Concorde, the people who watch the planes attentively on the terraces, and then all these vehicles, the suppliers of the meal trays, the small devices which fire the planes, the trucks that supply them, cars of patrol boats, construction trucks that build new buildings around airports ... I bring a lot of respect to all these people who are busy around these planes, all these workers shadow, who, one day, were photographed without even knowing it and who find themselves appearing on the screen of a computer, here or elsewhere. And among other things in front of mine. Last thing, I love the very detailed description that you make of the planes, their exact type and their history. Thank you for sharing with us these stealthy moments in the history of aviation. AlainM...
