Flights Coach Travel E677 VDA at Heathrow Airport – 13 June 1989 (89-6)

Tuesday 13 June 1989 (0635) – The business of Flights Coach Travel based in Birmingham was founded by Frank Flight in 1913. If ever there was a family name that was so well suited to running services to major airports this was it. The company coined the name Flightlink for these services.

Flights E677 VDA, a Plaxton Paramount 4000 bodied Volvo B10MT new in June 1988, was seen at Heathrow Airport Terminal 3 working the 0030 service from Manchester to Gatwick Airport. Each departure showed a different route number (or perhaps a ‘Flight’ number?). This one was 102.
