Wondering if i can possibly pick your brains about the history of the 747 at Gatwick? I work in the media team at the airport and we are supporting Boeing on their communications celebrating the 50th anniversary of that venerable aircraft. I am looking for information and images around anything to do with the 747 and Gatwick - particularly,
- Anything around VS and their 747 operations here (first flight etc)

- How many airlines at one time operated one or more
- Anything around VS and their 747 operations here (first flight etc)
- Interesting 'fun facts'
We will be doing internal communications on this, and possibly some wider social media too.
Any info and images you can dig up would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Remy
P.S. - Apologies to the mods if this contravenes posting rules or the topic title is not acceptable etc. Although I have been browsing the forum for years, I have only made a couple of posts so not completely au fait with the rules.
