Bankstown's changed since then too... No Lancasters, and not much grass left either!!

That brings back some memories. I well recall NX611 arriving at Biggin from Oz, and queuing up to tour inside. It was to be another forty years before I got inside again, this time at East Kirkby, not realising at the time that it was the very same aircraft !
