Taken in summer of 1985 when spending time on the terminal roof was a joy for small boys, and their dad! Not allowed nowadays in the much larger terminal building.

Busy Newcastle Airport

But why so busy about the autumn of 1983? Concorde flew in about this time, but that doesn't explain all the other aircraft. Plane spotters were still welcome on the roof in those days.
