EI-ASK Boeing 737-222
Pushing back at Heathrow circa summer 1974, when this United 737 was first leased in by Aer Lingus. As can be seen, it retained the United blue cheatline, which at least did not clash too much with the Aer Lingus livery of the time. The same aircraft (N9066U) was leased by Aer Lingus again from May 1975 to October 1976, by then in a basic livery based on United's 1970s "Saul Bass" colours.
Some executive jets parked on the Terminal side at this time and in this case they are a Gulfstream II (possibly N801GA msn 173, later to become G-BDMF), a JetStar (Luftwaffe?) and a Falcon 20. The Trident 1 wearing BEA livery with BA titles is also typical of the time, as very few of the former BEA and BOAC aircraft were repainted for the first couple of years of BA's life.
