I used to see the Varig DC-10 land at Heathrow back in the day. Heathrow was a long two hour bus ride from Crawley in Sussex. It was well worth the wait as my first time I went to Heathrow was 1974.
You had favorite planes and airlines as spotters do today. One of mine was Varig and loved seeing the DC-10 arrive late afternoon around 4pm. I used to leave it til it started getting dark then dash back to catch the bux back. I remember we stopped at Gatwick and that seem so quiet to Heathrow. Just the odd Laker or British Caledonian One Eleven parked up. I remember seeing a Dan Air Comet take off on an evening flight as we drove past. Those were the days and today it seems so samy and boring.
