A Balkan Bulgarian Airlines Tupolev Tu-154 seen arrived on a charter flight at London Gatwick

View from the roof terrace
One of my earliest shots of a Balkan Bulgarian Airlines Tu-154, this one on a charter flight at Gatwick.

The fountains in the foreground were part of the visitors' viewing terrace - the main vantage point for Gatwick movements at the time.

Taken with my basic Kodak Instamatic using 126 cartridge film.
