Heathrow Airport 1963

I've recently been scanning some slides taken by my late father in law and there were a few of Heathrow Airport (I think) and thought they maybe be of interest to someone. The slides are dated October 1963 so were taken sometime before that.

Thanks for the comments.

The pictures really show a different type of air travel to that experienced today.

To be honest I think I did quite well to identify the airport

Thanks for that, I've been trying to figure out where in the airport they were taken from.

Just a couple more.

These were scanned at a lower resolution but I will get around to doing them properly.

It's great reading the comments and getting a bit more information.

I do agree with the comment about the watermark and I know I wouldn't get any money for the pictures, I'm not going to even try. However the slides belonged to my partner's late father and she insisted that I add the watermark when sharing them on the internet.

Anyway, a few more from a few years later. Still at Heathrow I think. I can identify the VC-10 but the other two aircraft I'm not sure on.

Again, apologies for the state of the slides. The blurred aircraft in the third picture is not my fault though

I apologise for the the lack of VC-10, it only existed in my imagination :P
