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.
Here's a breakdown of the details of this model.

Overall:
This model would be a great addition for collectors interested in the Royal Canadian Air Force, military aircraft, Airbus CC-330 Husky or A330-200 aircraft, or 1/200 scale airplane models in general.
Or maybe it the NEW Gemini jets and Gemini 200 models we have listed. It does not stop there now I am listing the NEW Inflight 200 models.
My favourites is the Olympic 747. I have never managed to see this in service one of those that escaped my logbook. When i went to Greece in 2018 I did see the DASH 8 in these colours. And in 1999 I saw a Olympic 737-200 in Crete doing the Athens hop. Alas it was very dark and early morning 4am on our way home, and my camera was packed away in the suitcase. Never do that these days. No phones mobile phones then of course.
The rest will be listed on Sunday at Airspotters.com
Thank you for reading this always appreciated. Malcolm
