NORTH ATLANTIC TRAFFIC 1985
« on: March 31, 2010, 12:00:19 PM »
Hi all,

Please find attached a short clip of ATC audio dating back to summer 1985. The traffic are all heading out over Northern Ireland and Southern Scotland on their oceanic crossings.

Apologies for the poor recording quality (pre digital!!) but its still nice to hear some of those old callsigns not to mention a CSA Il62!

Hope you enjoy. I'll try add what details I have of the flights shortly.

Cheers,
Trevor

Thanks for sharing. Nice post :)

Interesting to see that some carriers are still using the flight numbers 25 years later :)

Love the nostalgic callsigns!
I can get Scottish ACC from here in the midlands. I'd stream them, but you know.. Silly law.
