Plus (from L to R), RAF Handley Page Hastings, RAF EE Canberras, BEA Vickers Vanguard, RAF Bristol Britannia, RAF Vickers Valetta and one unidentified. Used to spend time on that balcony and in the airport restaurant watching Vanguard training flights. The story was that you could apply for a (free) seat on the aeroplane so that the trainee pilot was able to experience the responsibility of carrying passengers. But often there were very heavy, bouncing landings, so I was never quite brave enough to be on board.
