Halcyon Days indeed, In pink green or yellow if memory serves but I
don't recognise the location.

Glad you have managed to sort things out ok.

Luton Airport is unrecognisable from what it was in those days. At least
three terminal buildings ago. It used to virtually close down early in the
evening and I remember a member of the ground staff knocking on the door
for the Immigration bods to let us in.

I used to fly to Brussels from there occasionally with Euroflight (sp?) in
Cessnas and Bandeirantes. Maybe a Jetstream too. Much more fun and
personal than in those aluminium tubes that bigger jets are.
