Paramount Airways made its first flights in 5.87 from a base at Bristol Lulsgate to Malaga and Tenerife. The airline leased two MD83s, with two more added later, being the first in the UK with the type, also operating from Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Exeter, and Gatwick. Paramount became insolvent in mid-1989 and was wound up. G-PATA changed hands many times and was stored at Tucson as N305FA of Falcon Air Express in a black livery in 2013

BA's first Chinook, pictured in the days when Gatwick had its own heliport, near the original airport Beehive building (still there today). In 1978 BA was the first to order the Commercial Chinook, for North Sea oil rig support missions. But by 1985 it was decided to sell the six helicopters which had been acquired. G-BJAC became N234CH then C-FHFH but was w/o at Comox, BC on 30.10.97

The majority of Yankee Romeo's lease for a year to BCal was spent in this Commuter c/s, replacing the first scheme shown in my previous shot. Gatwick's North Terminal can be seen under construction in the background

This was the fourth HS.125 built, registered G-ASEC in 11.62 and used by De Havilland then HSA as a demonstrator, including appearance at the 1964 Farnborough show. Bought by BAF in Jun 1979 and leased to the Group 4 security group just before this photo, with only 4,000 hours and a similar number of landings recorded. Wfu May 1985 and later scrapped at Southend. Seen here with a Euroair logo on the tail.

On this occasion the departing MX1595 flew a strange pattern turning 180 and flying east for several minutes before steering back on course for Mexico. Ex SP-LOB and bought 12.08. Very awkward title positioning!
