80s aircraft

 

Now, this was my era at Gatwick. The late 80s. Here we have a BAC 1-11 and a Handley Page Herald. I definitely worked on the Herald. The BAC 1-11 was the first aircraft I ever flew on (Laker Airways) pictured below, getting off after landing home from Majorca. Wearing a very 70s blue velvet jacket. With my mum and a souvenir sombrero hat.

The stamp is from Jersey. We only went there once, on Dan Air standby, to visit the Gerald Durrell zoo. For Sue, the main attraction was to see the critically endangered St Lucia Parrot (bottom photo)
