Comment: Hi Folks, It is a lovely surprise to find this site. I am so sorry to hear of the sad news.They are in our thoughts.We are lucky to have fond memories Made me think of putting a few words together about some of the great things we did and places we were lucky enough to go. Does anyone remember the Cyprus runs in the later 1970's? I am trying to remember the name of the hotel where we stayed and the ground staff etc? Can anyone help with that? Shir shirleagh@gmail.com

Now living in Cornwall, runnig a smallholding - no agro. Miss the happy days, shame that they had to end. There was no other job like it, the best, with the best people.

Comment: Hi all, what a nice time we had at the reunion at Broklands. We saw people we had not seen for a few years and it was just like a few days. But that was Airtours. A very special airline and a special lot of folk. Look forward to the xmas drink. Best wishes Rowena and Laurence.

Comment: Hi All. Just to say thank you for everyone who either came to Daddy's funeral or sent me letters afterwards. It will be sad to get together without him, I know he will be there in spirit. It used to fall on his B-day and now its mine.

Comment: Hi all I was a member of the Airtours northern outpost, Manchester. Does anyone remember Robin Jameson? I know he ended up on BA shorthaul at LHR but I lost touch with him a few years ago. He moved up to the Lake District and I think he left BA then. Any help gratefully received! Cheers, Alan

Comment: I came across this page on one of my long nightshifts here at Virgin Crewing. I left KT after the BA/BR merger to come here. AT KT I did the 737 flight deck rosters and remember so many characters not only flight deck but office staff too. Sad to see Airtours house pulled down. When I started here (22 years ago!) it was very different, 2 old 747s and that was that. It grew here to remind me of the family atmosphere of Airtours. KT fondly remebered, decanter still on shelf in living room.

Comment: Down under watching the grand kids grow up they will never know the qulality of life we enjoyed on airtours in the 70s and 80s oh happy days
